Big updates just dropped from Meta to make social media safer for teens — and to give parents more peace of mind. Instagram’s Teen Accounts, launched last year, have already moved 54 million teens into safer experiences. Now, they’re expanding protections across Facebook and Messenger too. Here’s what’s new: 🔒 Teens under 16 will need parent permission to go Live or turn off blurred images of suspected nudity in DMs. 📊 97% of teens aged 13–15 are keeping built-in protections ON. 🗣️ 94% of surveyed parents say Teen Accounts are helpful — and 85% feel it makes supporting their kids online easier. This is a big step in helping teens navigate digital spaces more safely and giving parents tools that actually make a difference. #digitalparenting #teenaccounts #onlinesafety #socialmediaawareness #instagramupdate #parentingteens #mentalhealthmatters #meta #familytech #digitalwellbeing
