As part of the rollout of Teen Accounts, younger users will get access to a new feature that lets them select topics they want to see more of on the Explore page and in their recommendations. They can select topics like Soccer, Crafts, Dance, Music & Audio, Cats, Food & Drink, Computer Science and more. Instagram says this will help them to focus on more positive content.
Parents will be able to see the topics that their child has chosen to see content from, Instagram says. Of course, algorithms can still drive Instagram users to topics other than those they’ve selected, if the app detects that’s what the teen finds more engaging.
