What is Instagram Young Account Application?
Instagram continues to prioritize young people. Instagram, one of the most used platforms in the world, is launching its youth account application. Let's examine it together.
What is Instagram Young Account Application?
Instagram announced that it has introduced new restrictions for users under the age of 18. The company, which works to reduce young people's and children's access to negative content and its subsequent negative effects, stated in a statement to the BBC that youth accounts will begin to be used in Turkey, along with other countries, starting from January.
In this process, the accounts of users under the age of 18 will automatically be converted to youth accounts. Users under 16 will need to link their account to their parent's account to remove these restrictions. According to this innovation, the accounts of young account users will be automatically hidden within the scope of new measures. With this innovation, only followers accepted by users will be able to see and interact with the content they share.
With this application, Instagram will also filter the content that teenagers may encounter in areas such as Explore and Reels. In addition, Instagram will try to prevent young accounts from staying on the platform for more than 60 minutes and will provide parents with extensive control/supervision opportunities.
