Instagram makes teen accounts private as pressure mounts on the app to protect children

Instagram is defaulting teen accounts to private in an effort to enhance safety for young users. The change will roll out in the US, UK, Canada, and Australia, with the EU to follow later this year. Teens will receive notifications after 60 minutes of app usage and a sleep mode will be activated from 10 PM to 7 AM. While these settings will be enabled for all teens, 16 and 17-year-olds will have the option to turn them off. The renewed focus on teen safety is a response to concerns over inappropriate content, unwanted contact, and excessive app use.
