Meta, the parent company of Facebook, has introduced new features that aim to support families and manage the time spent on its apps, including Messenger and Instagram. The parental supervision feature allows parents to monitor their teenagers’ activities on Messenger, including messaging times and contact points. Instagram DM users must now send an invite to connect with someone who doesn’t follow them, and teens will get a notification after spending 20 minutes on the app, encouraging them to take a break. Quiet Mode is available globally on Instagram, with nudges being tested that suggest users close the app at bedtime. These developments respond to concerns about the overuse of social media platforms by children and the potential impacts on their wellbeing. While Meta’s proposals offer more parental control options, critics argue that such measures do not go far enough in protecting young users.
