Meta's has been listening to some concerns after all especially now after some pressure.

These changes very well could help parents moderate their teens. Meta's head of product says these changes address particular 3 concerns in an Npr interview.

Will this be the end of the complaints and concerns geared towards Instagram, probably not.

How many users does IG have that are registered as under 18?

I'm 25 now, but I still always say I was born in the 80s out of habit...

It's a good step, but it won't fix things.

More than you can imagine. I haven't found a student in my high school without IG.

Yes they have an IG but I doubt the birthdate they gave is their real one.
