A version of Instagram where parents have control, like we did w\/ Messenger Kids, is something we\u2019re exploring. We\u2019ll share more down the road.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Messenger Kids is a Facebook app where parents can control who their children can communicate with. However, a bug was found in 2019 that allowed kids to communicate with not just their friends, but with friends of friends \u2014 including adults \u2014 who their own parents had not vetted.<\/p>\n<p>In a message-board post, Instagram said its kids version would emphasize privacy and safety, according to the BuzzFeed report.<\/p>\n<p>Separately, on Wednesday Instagram announced new features and resources for its teen users and their parents, in an effort to protect users from abuse, bullying and predators.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cProtecting young people on Instagram is important to us,\u201d <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/about.instagram.com\/blog\/announcements\/continuing-to-make-instagram-safer-for-the-youngest-members-of-our-community\" class=\"icon none\">the company said in a blog post<\/a>. \u201cWe want parents to have the information to help their teens have a safe and positive experience on Instagram.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>If launched, the app could face legal issues regarding children\u2019s privacy and targeted advertising, and would likely spark heavy criticism from youth advocates on issues including harassment, sexting and mental health.
