Baru tau ada sistem ini, akun remaja untuk Instagram, jadi untuk user dibawah umur 16 maka akan masuk ke sistem akun remaja ini.
Fitur akun remaja ini memiliki beberapa batasan seperti ini:
- Private accounts: With default private accounts, teens need to accept new followers and people who don’t follow them can’t see their content or interact with them. This applies to all teens under 16 (including those already on Instagram and those signing up) and teens under 18 when they sign up for the app.
- Messaging restrictions: Teens will be placed in the strictest messaging settings, so they can only be messaged by people they follow or are already connected to.
- Sensitive content restrictions: Teens will automatically be placed into the most restrictive setting of our sensitive content control, which limits the type of sensitive content (such as content that shows people fighting or promotes cosmetic procedures) teens see in places like Explore and Reels.
- Limited interactions: Teens can only be tagged or mentioned by people they follow. We’ll also automatically turn on the most restrictive version of our anti-bullying feature, Hidden Words, so that offensive words and phrases will be filtered out of teens’ comments and DM requests.
- Time limit reminders: Teens will get notifications telling them to leave the app after 60 minutes each day.
- Sleep mode enabled: Sleep mode will be turned on between 10 PM and 7 AM, which will mute notifications overnight and send auto-replies to DMs.

Dari situ juga ketemu postingan Instagram sebelumnya tentang bagaimana mereka melakukan verifikasi usia ini.
Starting today, we’re testing new options for people on Instagram to verify their age, starting with people based in the US. If someone attempts to edit their date of birth on Instagram from under the age of 18 to 18 or over, we’ll require them to verify their age using one of three options:
- upload their ID,
- record a video selfie or
- ask mutual friends to verify their age

Sebuah inisiatif yang menarik walaupun saya tetap prefer untuk membiarkan anak ataupun orang dewasa terlalu lama hanyut di sosial media 🙂
