It seems that the Instagram team is becoming more and more aware of the fact that in addition to the adult solvent audience, there are also teenagers.
All year long, developers have been rolling out updates like parental controls and a default closed account. But it's not just restrictions for minors.
In January, the social network is going to launch a digital footprint tracking program. With its help, users will be able to see all the likes, comments and posts they've ever left in one section. Here they will also be able to delete them en masse. Very convenient, because you can't always remember what you commented on or what post your finger twitched over and wrote out a random like.
But what does this have to do with children, you might ask? Instagram head Adam Mosseri thinks the feature is especially important for teens to be more aware of what information they've shared and what other users are seeing, and to have an easy way to manage their digital footprint.
True, following such generosity, the developers have announced restrictions. For example, users will be forbidden to tag teenagers in photos, if they are not signed up to them. The company also plans to limit children from potentially harmful content that they come across through hashtags, search, or in Reels.
