In several countries (UK, US, Canada and Australia), Instagram will be rolling out new features for people aged between 13-15 (assuming 13 it the minimum age you need to be to have an account). The goal is to increase privacy for younger teens and increase parental controls over those accounts.

The new “teen accounts” are being introduced from Tuesday in the UK, US, Canada and Australia.
They will turn many privacy settings on by default for all under 18s, including making their content unviewable to people who don't follow them, and making them actively approve all new followers.
But children aged 13 to 15 will only be able to adjust the settings by adding a parent or guardian to their account.

Parents who choose to supervise their child's account will be able to see who they message and the topics they have said they are interested in - though they will not be able to view the content of messages.
However, media regulator Ofcom raised concerns in April over parents' willingness to intervene to keep their children safe online.
In a talk last week, senior Meta executive Sir Nick Clegg said: “One of the things we do find… is that even when we build these controls, parents don’t use them.”
