The application has developed a new alert aimed at young people in a position to use certain functions at late hours.
“It’s getting late. Consider turning off Instagram for the night.” No, this is not a recommendation from parents to their children, but a message sent by the Instagram app to teenagers between the ages of 13 and 17 who use the app during the night.
This new “late function”, observed by BFMTV
The announcement was made this Thursday, January 18 by the Facebook subsidiary. This is not a specificity linked to Macron’s announcements on the regulation of screens for children, but a global development.All users under the age of 18 will see a warning message on their screen if they spend more than ten consecutive minutes watching reels or on the app’s instant messenger, between 10pm and 4am.
In its Instagram teen privacy and safety settings, Instagram already says it encourages teens between the ages of 13 and 17 to take a break from Instagram when they scroll through content for a certain period of time. The app also offers a “silent mode” that mutes notifications and sends automatic replies to direct messages with its followers to “help keep teens focused and encourage them to set boundaries.”
As indicated BFMTVHowever, these warnings have only an indicative function and users are free to ignore them without affecting the performance of the application.
