Just recently, during this past Tuesday (June 14th, 2022), Instagram released new Parental Controls for users in the UK, which ultimately empower parents / guardians of Instagram users under the age of 18 to have a better control over how their children use the App. These new Parental Control features for Instagram came shortly after The Wall Street Journal had released a report last September that indicated top executives at Instagram had been warned by researchers about the potential harmful impacts of the social media App to young users. Instagram's new Parental Controls for parents and/or guardians of under-aged Instagram users (aged under 18) include the ability of setting a Daily Time Limit, scheduling Break Times, along with receiving detailed information on reported accounts directly reported by their children's accounts, and also having access to all the Follow Information related to their children's accounts.
