Instagram restricts private messages from strangers and only allows one text message to be sent to unfollowed users.

Thanks to CTOnews.com netizen Coje_He for the clue delivery! CTOnews.com August 5 news, according to foreign media theverge reported that Instagram is strengthening the review of information, now allows users to send only one message invitation to unfollowed users, and can only contain text. This means that users will no longer receive pictures, videos or voice messages sent by strangers. Previously, Instagram allowed users to send an unlimited number of message requests.

CTOnews.com learned from foreign media that if the user accepts the connection request, multiple messages can be sent for convenience, and the message request is located in the "request" button at the top of the inbox on the Instagram DM page.

In addition to introducing new message protection measures on Instagram, Meta has also introduced more powerful parental controls on Instagram and Messenger, allowing parents to learn more about their children's behavior on both platforms.

It is understood that parents and guardians can now view their children's Messenger contact list as well as their privacy and security settings through Meta Family Center. If their child reports someone on the app, parents will also be notified-as long as their child has enabled the setting.
