In April 2025, Meta announced new safety measures for teen users on Instagram, requiring parental permission for those under 16 to go live or to disable the blurring of suspected nudity in direct messages. These updates aim to enhance protections for young users, addressing concerns about online safety and exposure to inappropriate content. Meta is also extending these safeguards to Facebook and Messenger, including default private settings, restrictions on messages from unknown users, and reminders to take breaks after 60 minutes of app usage. These changes are part of Meta's ongoing efforts to enhance protections for young users, first introduced through its teen account program launched in September.
