What you need to know
- Instagram is rolling out new "Teen Accounts" to give teens under 16 extra protection.
- Teen accounts are defaulted to private, meaning they need to approve followers and control who sees their content.
- All teen accounts now have strict content controls, making it harder to find sensitive content on Explore and Reels.
- The rollout starts in the U.S., UK, Canada, and Australia in 60 days, with the EU getting it later this year, and global availability in January.
