Instagram’s Teen Accounts feature is coming to Facebook and Messenger soon

Meta is expanding its Teen Accounts protections, initially launched on Instagram, to Facebook and Messenger for users aged 13-15. These accounts limit messaging capabilities, filter out inappropriate content, and remind users to take breaks from screen time. Teens under 16 need parental permission to change default settings, with 97% choosing to maintain protections. The rollout of similar Teen Accounts on Facebook and Messenger is happening in the US, UK, Australia, and Canada, with global expansion planned. New features for Instagram Teen Accounts will require parental approval for going Live and disabling a feature that blurs suspected nude images in direct messages. An Ipsos survey indicated that 94% of US parents find Teen Accounts beneficial, and 85% believe they promote positive online experiences. Meta has over 54 million active Teen Accounts globally and is committed to enhancing safety for young users.

Android 15 could allow third party apps to integrate with Digital Wellbeing

Google's Digital Wellbeing feature has been a cornerstone in Android devices, offering tools to manage screen time effectively. With the advent of Android 15, a new public API called ZenDeviceEffects will allow third-party applications to control various screen settings previously exclusive to Google's app. Tasker has already embraced this API for Bedtime Mode routines, hinting at potential integration by Samsung into its own ecosystem. The API was introduced in the Android 15 Developer Preview 2 rollout, with anticipation for further enhancements to user experience. Samsung is also developing the One UI 7.0 update to integrate Modes & Routines and SmartThings apps with Digital Wellbeing for a seamless user experience.
