While parents have been able to set custom daily time limits and add scheduled breaks for their teens on the app, Sleep Mode now applies to every teen on the app, regardless of whether their parents have set their own limits or not. Previously, Instagram would only nudge teens to close the app if they were using it at night.

This is a sizable step towards addressing mental health concerns tied to social media, as raised by the U.S. Surgeon General and various states, some of which have even gone so far as to restrict teens from using social media without a parent’s consent.
