Meta has announced stricter message settings for teens on Instagram and Facebook. The company said, “We’re building on our work to provide age-appropriate experiences for teens, and to make it simpler for parents to shape their teens’ online experiences.”

The new features protect teen users from unwanted contact by anyone they don’t follow or aren’t connected to. On Instagram, teens will now need approval from their parents to change a setting.
