Last year for Facebook, aka Meta, was not a very positive year due to leaked documents and lawsuits. The company, which has experienced a decrease in the number of new users for the first time since its establishment, is trying to erase the effects of the leaked documents that “it affects the youth badly”.
The company, which was working on a new Instagram application for children last year, suddenly stopped these studies. A development that concerns parents who are worried about the account their children can access came from Meta. Here are the details…
Parental control restriction from Facebook to Instagram
Meta allows families to control how much time their children spend on Instagram, thanks to new parental controls. Meta, now the parent company of Facebook, has announced that it will provide parents and guardians with new tools for how their teens use social media and virtual reality.
The social media giant is first activating its new restrictions on Instagram. With this update, parents will be able to view the time their children spend on Instagram and set time limits.
The most comforting part of the families in the incoming control update is that young accounts can also control the accounts they follow or follow. Young users can access their social media usage from a single tab within the “Family Center” within Instagram.
According to the statement made on Instagram, the feature will be active in the USA first. It is expected to be put into use in the coming months. The release of more parental controls is worth a response to criticisms that Meta isn’t doing enough to protect the safety of young people on its services, though it’s currently unknown whether it will be helpful.
