Meta updates Instagram safety measures for teens

After receiving a lot of criticism over its idea to create an app for kids last year, Meta has made some changes to Instagram. They’re hoping the new additions will help parents feel safer. But are updates enough to make social media apps safer for young teens? Sharmeen Somani finds out – Jun 26, 2022

Meta Platforms Inc’s Instagram said on Monday it was looking into an issue preventing thousands of its users from accessing the photo-sharing application.

The outage in some cases led to the suspension of users’ Instagram accounts. One user said the application had asked for their email and phone number to get the suspended account to work again.

“We’re aware that some of you are having issues accessing your Instagram account. We’re looking into it and apologize for the inconvenience,” Instagram said on its Twitter account.

The company did not immediately respond to questions on suspensions.
