Instagram on July 27, 2021 introduced changes designed to keep young users safer by making them harder to find at the image-centric social network.

Tweaks rolling out to Instagram in Australia, Britain, France, Japan and the United States include software designed to spot “suspicious behaviour” by adults trying to connect with underage users.

The changes come as critics urge Facebook to abandon plans for a version of Instagram tailored for children. Previously, people creating new accounts were asked to chose between public or private accounts during the sign-up process. “Encouraging young people to have private accounts is a big step in the right direction when it comes to stopping unwanted contact from adults,” Instagram said.New tech tools will allow Instagram to automatically identify “potentially suspicious” behaviour and stop holders of those accounts from interacting with young users, according to Instagram.
