Instagram New Features: Keeping in mind the safety of young users in India, Meta has made some important changes in Instagram. Now two new security features related to direct messages (DM) have been added for teenagers on Instagram. Now if a teenager starts a chat with someone, even if both of them follow each other, Instagram will show a security tip. In this, the user will be advised to check the profile of the other person carefully and will be asked to be cautious that if anything seems suspicious, do not share any information.

Now the date of account creation will be visible

Instagram will now show when the account of the other user was created (month and year) at the top of the chat box. This will make it easier for teenagers to identify fake or fraudulent accounts.

"Block and report" feature together

Meta has now added a new option that allows teens to block and report a user in one step without any hassle. Earlier, both these tasks had to be done separately. This will help young people get out of the inconvenient experience quickly and effectively.

More strictness on children's accounts

Instagram accounts that are being run in the name of children (under 13 years) by their parents or managers will now get Instagram's strictest security settings by default. These include:

More control over message controls

"Hidden Words" filter to prevent abusive language

Safety alert at the top of Instagram feed

Meta has clarified that if any such account is found to be run by a child himself, then that account will be removed.

Special focus on young users of India

India is one of the biggest markets for Instagram, and that is why Meta has taken these steps to protect teens online. As youth participation on social media is increasing, these features will help Indian families have a safe experience in the digital world.
