To ensure the privacy and security of young users, Instagram will expand the control of sensitive content

Instagram will require teenage users to review their privacy settings to make it safer for young people to use its platform.

Instagram tweeted on June 7 that Instagram will continue to provide people with more choice and control experience and will expand sensitive content control. A sensitive content control update is expected on August 25, 2022.

It is understood that sensitive content control has only two options for teenagers: "standard" and "less". New teenagers under the age of 16 will enter the "less" state by default, while those who are already on Instagram will send prompts to encourage them to choose the "less" experience.

Instagram is a social app from Meta that provides free online photo and video sharing. It was released in October 2010. It allows users to take photos with their smartphones and add different filter effects to the photos and share them on Instagram's servers, or social media such as Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr and Flickr.
