Meta has announced new features to expand parental monitoring on Instagram, which will be added in future updates to this popular app.

Instagram is gradually becoming a safer place for teens, providing parents with new tools to control how their child uses them. According to today’s post of the company on its blog, Meta unveils new features of parental monitoring on Instagram.

In this program, parents and guardians can set up these monitoring tools by sending invitations to their teens. Previously, only teenagers could send invitations to their parents or guardians. Parents can now limit their teen’s Instagram use by setting times and days when they want to apply the restrictions. They will also now be able to find out the details of when a teenager reports an account or mail.

New nudge feature on Instagram

Parental-supervised updates are now available on the US Instagram app and will be released later this month to other countries such as the United Kingdom, Japan, Australia, Ireland, Canada, France and Germany. Other countries will receive this update later this year.

Outside the parental control program, more features are being added to Instagram to enhance the teen experience. A new feature that has been introduced for this age group in some countries is called “nudge” and its function is that if the teenager looks at duplicate content, it will force the user to explore new topics in the tab.

The teen version of the new “Take a Break” feature will also be available soon. This feature will automatically remind the user if they use the rails for a certain period of time. This feature is currently being tested in the US, UK, Ireland, Canada and New Zealand, and more countries will be using it soon.
