An Instagram for kids never happened, but this may be the next best alternative

This may well be the culmination of a journey that hasn’t been easy and may still prove to not be so as time unfolds. In 2021, Meta said they were pausing the development of something they’d referenced as “Instagram Kids”, the contours of some sort of parental supervision over children who use the social media platform, remained bleak. The choice then was to build supervision tools, a journey that may have finally culminated with mandatory parental controls for kids under 16 years (and above the age of 13 years) of age. Think of it as an Instagram for teens.
