Among the various tools launched in Portugal by Meta,
parental supervision on Instagram is sending the teen an invitation to
supervise your account or accept an invitation from your teen.
It also allows you to see how much time your teenager spends
daily on Instagram and you can set daily limits and schedule breaks for
specific times of day, according to the social network.
Parents and guardians will now receive a notification
whenever their teenager reports an account or post - including which account
and what type of content.
It also includes the launch of the Family Centre, in which
parents in Portugal and worldwide will now be able to visit this space that has
content reviewed by experts that will help teenagers and parents navigate the
digital world.
It also includes new tools to help teenagers better manage
the time they spend on Instagram.
Meta is testing a new sound feature globally that aims to
encourage teens to switch topics if they are repeatedly looking at the same
type of content in the "explore" area.
"While it is still being tested, we hope it can reach
everyone soon," the Instagram owner notes.
Meta has created a process that helps apply the United
Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child in product development.
"This framework is used by all teams at Meta to be able
to apply the same standards in the development of all digital experiences for
those under 18," says the tech company, which will ensure it continues to
work "collaboratively" to address the needs of younger people in the
app.
