🚨 Fake B-days on Insta? Not anymore! 🚨

Instagram is rolling out AI-powered tools designed to catch teens pretending to be adults. Why? To ensure a safer space for younger users. If the AI senses any age misrepresentation, those accounts will be automatically moved into “Teen Accounts.” These accounts are packed with safeguards like restricted messaging, filtered content, and features that encourage healthier app use, like time reminders and “Sleep Mode.” 🕒✨

It’s a bold move by Instagram to tackle the challenge of digital safety, especially with growing concerns about how social media affects teens. This new tech goes beyond standard age verification by analyzing interactions, content engagement, and even subtle signals like birthday greetings to ensure accuracy. Of course, there’s still a manual option to adjust settings if you’re mistakenly labeled.
