Instagram is known for adding new features. It also takes full care of the privacy of the users. Now Meta has rolled out new privacy and parental control features for Instagram users, with the help of which the way young children use Instagram will change.

Amidst the discussion related to the negative impact of Instagram and other social media apps on children and teenagers, Instagram is constantly making improvements so that the privacy of the users can be kept safe.

What is Instagram's new service?
Meta says that the accounts of users under the age of 18 will automatically be considered 'Teen Accounts' and these will become private accounts by default.

Only those people will be able to message or tap these Teen Accounts, whom they follow or are connected with.

On the other hand, the sensitivity settings for the content shown on Instagram will also be made the most restricted, so that these users do not have access to obscene or sensitive content.

Settings will be changed with the help of parents.
The platform says that users under the age of 16 will not be able to change their default settings. Because of this, they will need the permission of the parents.

Parents are also being given special settings so that they can track the activity of their children in the app.
This will help parents to find out who their children are engaging with and who they are talking to.

According to reports, it has been found in previous studies that social media has had a bad effect, especially on young users.
Some people have also held it responsible for mental problems and diseases like depression, and learning disability.

This is the reason why Meta has improved all its apps and services and is constantly working to make them safe.
