JAKARTA As a form of celebration of National Children's Day, Meta affirms its commitment to protecting teenagers on Instagram. The company also launched a series of feature updates.
There are a number of new features that are presented to tighten the security of teenage accounts, one of which is the Security Tips option to protect their accounts from unwanted people. In addition, there is also an account blocking option at the top of the New Message.
In that view, teens can see when people interact with them join Instagram. By launching this feature, Meta wants to 'provide a wider context for teens' about who they talk to.
Meta also introduces a joint Block feature and Reports to make it easier for users to take action quickly. This update can simplify the process of reporting content or accounts that are deemed inappropriate.
By presenting all these new features, Meta is determined to limit teenage accounts from predators or cybercriminals. The hope is that teens can access more positive content or accounts while surfing on Instagram.

"This security update, including improved message control and security alerts, reflects our ongoing commitment to preventing unwanted interactions and supporting families and adolescents in Indonesia," said Berni Moestafa, Head of Public Policy for Meta Indonesia, in a statement received by VOI.
In addition to launching the latest features, Meta also shared the latest data on the impact of the security features they presented. Thanks to the features that are already available on Instagram, they managed to block and report accounts, each with one million.
In addition, the Location Alert was given to one million teenagers and young people last June. As a result, one in ten users immediately took steps after seeing the warning.
The nudity Protection feature also shows significant results, with 99 percent of users still activating it. In June, 40 percent of blurry images received in Messages remained buried, reducing exposure to unwanted content.
