Instagram is introducing new safety measures for teens, automatically placing current and future teen users into a Teen Account. This feature limits who can contact them, filters offensive content, and encourages app breaks after an hour of use. Sleep Mode is also enabled by default to mute notifications at night. Parents now have more control with options to monitor activity, set time limits, and block the app. These changes aim to improve teen safety following concerns from lawmakers about social media’s impact on young users.
