What's New

Today, we're announcing new tools and resources designed to support parents, guardians and teens across our technologies.

Parents will soon be able to set up supervision tools in VR to all Quest headsets and use new supervision features available with Instagram, like sending invites to their teens to initiate tools and setting specific times to limit their teen's use. Supervision tools on Instagram are beginning to roll out globally.

We're also continuing to add features to help teens better manage the time they spend on Instagram with new nudges and reminders to use our Take a Break feature.

Expanding Parental Supervision Features on Instagram

On Instagram, parents and guardians can now:

  • Send invitations to their teens to initiate supervision tools. Initially, only teens could send invitations.
  • Set specific times during the day or week when they would like to limit their teen's use of Instagram.
  • See more information when their teen reports an account or post, including who was reported, and the type of report.

If you already have supervision set up on Instagram in the US, these updates are now available in addition to our other supervision tools. Starting this month, these tools will begin rolling out to other countries including the UK, Japan, Australia, Ireland, Canada, France and Germany, with plans to roll out globally before the end of the year.
