Every parent should take advantage of new Facebook Messenger and Instagram features to protect their teens bgr.com - get the latest breaking news, showbiz & celebrity photos, sport news & rumours, viral videos and top stories from bgr.com Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday newspapers.
Many of the features require minors - and their parents - to opt in, raising questions about how effective the measures are. Instagram, for instance, will now send a notice to teens after they have blocked someone, encouraging them to let their parents "supervise" their account. The idea is to grab kids attention when they might be more open to parental guidance.
Meta-owned Instagram launched the ‘Quiet Mode’ to discourage people from consistently being on the app. Targeted at teenagers, the ‘Quiet Mode’ will ensure that once enabled, they do not receive any notifications.
Once a user enables the Quiet Mode, the profile activity status will change to 'In Quiet Mode' for the followers. If someone sends a Direct Message while the user is 'In Quiet Mode', Instagram will send an auto-reply (just like the automated reply that are sent by WhatsApp Business users).
