Instagram expands teen account protections with new parental notifications and AI technology

2025-04-27  Per Henrikson

Teen Accounts, first launched last year, are designed to provide a safer experience for young users by limiting who can contact them, restricting the content they view, and setting controls over the time they spend online. Teens under the age of 16 must obtain parental or guardian approval to adjust these settings. According to Instagram, over 54 million teens worldwide have been enrolled in Teen Accounts so far, with 97% of teens aged 13 to 15 choosing to remain under the protections. The Teen Account experience has also expanded to Facebook and Messenger.
