Instagram defaults 16-and-under minor accounts to ‘private’ now
NY Post
It’s not quite so Insta for the 16-and-under influencer crowd anymore.
Minors logging on to Instagram for the first time will now automatically default to a “private” account as the company aims to create a more “safe and private” platform. “Wherever we can, we want to stop young people from hearing from adults they don’t know, or that they don’t want to hear from,” reps for Instagram announced in a blog post on Tuesday. “We believe private accounts are the best way to prevent this from happening.”More Related News
