Instagram Account Age Requirements
Many parents wonder if they can access their teen’s Instagram account. According to Instagram, privacy laws forbid them to give anyone, even a parent, access to an account that belongs to an authorized account holder. An authorized account holder is any user who is at least 13 years old. If your teen is at least 13, you have to work with them to take several extra security and privacy measures across their account to help keep them safe.
Boost Your Instagram Parental Controls
Instagram doesn’t have any parent-specific safety or security features built into the platform to help them oversee their teen’s account. However, you and your teen can work together by taking advantage of the platform’s general safety and security features (as well as best practices) to help prevent them from being exposed or falling victim to anything suspicious or abusive.
