Teens will also be encouraged to put their profiles on private at the point of registration.Ī study of Australian teens’ internet usage published by the Australian eSafety commissioner in February found 57% of Australian teenagers use Instagram, while 30% reported being contacted by a stranger, and 20% reported being sent inappropriate unwanted content on the social media sites they used.Android 2.3–2.3.2 Gingerbread (API level 9) / Android 2.3.3–2.3.7 Gingerbread (API level 10) / Android 3.0 Honeycomb (API level 11) / Android 3.1 Honeycomb (API level 12) / Android 3.2–3.2.6 Honeycomb (API level 13) / Android 4.0–4.0.2 Ice Cream Sandwich (API level 14) / Android 4.0.3–4.0.4 Ice Cream Sandwich (API level 15) / Android 4.1–4.1.2 Jelly Bean (API level 16) / Android 4.2–4.2.2 Jelly Bean (API level 17) / Android 4.3–4.3.1 Jelly Bean (API level 18) / Android 4.4–4.4.4 KitKat (API level 19) / Android 4.4W–4.4W.2 KitKat, with wearable extensions (API level 20) / Android 5.0–5.0.2 Lollipop (API level 21) / Android 5.1–5.1.1 Lollipop (API level 22) / Android 6.0+ Marshmallow (API level 23)
The company also announced plans to roll out new safety features, including preventing adults from messaging people under the age of 18 who do not follow them, safety notices for teens when messaged by an adult sending a large amount of friend requests or messages to people under 18, and make it more difficult for adults to find and follow teens using the search function in Instagram.
In a blog post earlier this week, which did not mention the proposed new Instagram service, the company noted that although people were asked to enter their age when signing up for Instagram, there was nothing to prevent people from lying about it at registration.įacebook said it would overcome that by using machine learning in combination with the registration age to determine people’s ages on the platform. “We’re exploring bringing a parent-controlled experience to Instagram to help kids keep up with their friends, discover new hobbies and interests, and more.” Right now there aren’t many options for parents, so we’re working on building additional products … that are suitable for kids, managed by parents,” the spokesperson said. “Increasingly kids are asking their parents if they can join apps that help them keep up with their friends.
