Meta 的 Instagram 服务最近推出了一些旨在保护年轻用户的内置工具。这些变化还使父母能够更好地控制孩子的帐户，以提高安全性并限制在社交网络应用程序上花费的时间。 

Instagram says the new tools aim to “reassure parents that teens are having safe experiences.” The main change was the establishment of Teen Accounts, which Meta says was developed “with parents and teens in mind.” 

Instagram 表示，新工具的目的是“让家长放心，青少年正在享受安全的体验”。主要的变化是青少年账户的建立，Meta 表示，该账户的开发“考虑到了父母和青少年”。 

The Associated Press offers the following tips as a guide for parents to get the most out of the new tools. 

美联社提供以下提示，作为家长充分利用新工具的指南。

Instagram already restricts anyone under 13 from signing up for the service. Now, teen accounts will automatically be set to private. That means they will have to accept or reject requests from new followers. Other users will not be able to see a teen user's posts and videos or communicate with the account.

Instagram 已经限制 13 岁以下的任何人注册该服务。现在，青少年帐户将自动设置为私人帐户。这意味着他们将不得不接受或拒绝新关注者的请求。其他用户将无法看到青少年用户的帖子和视频或与该帐户进行通信。 

Teens will also face messaging restrictions. They can only receive direct messages from people they are following or who follow them. But they can still send messages to other accounts. 

青少年还将面临消息传递限制。他们只能接收来自他们所关注的人或关注他们的人的直接消息。但他们仍然可以向其他帐户发送消息。 

Teen Accounts will also restrict certain kinds of material, or content. This will include sensitive subjects such as videos of people fighting or content that pushes methods to improve appearance. In addition, Instagram's anti-bullying tools will be set to the highest level to prevent offensive words and phrases in comments and direct message requests.
