Last September, Instagram activated the Teen Account feature, which puts various safety features specifically for teenage users under 16 years old. This morning, Meta announced that this feature has also been activated on the Facebook and Messenger applications.
Like on Instagram, Teen Account places restrictions such as not being able to be contacted by unknown people and preventing the display of obscene messages that may be sent to the DM box. In addition, time usage control in the application can also be done by parents and guardians.
On Instagram, Teen Account users cannot do Live sessions or turn off content restrictions set without the permission of parents and guardians. This new feature can be used by users in the US, UK, Australia and Canada first before being given to other countries
