It allows parents to log in and access tools for managing their child’s account. Parents will be able to schedule posts, view and delete direct messages, see who has tagged their child in a photo or video, as well as all of their child’s followers and followers of their own account. Teens can access the Safety Centre for information on how to stay safe online.

As part of our ongoing efforts to promote safety and healthy relationships, we are excited to launch a new Instagram feature that allows teens and parents to connect. The Family Centre is also home to valuable tools that can help parents manage their teens’ accounts, including parent-only accounts for families who prefer to share accounts, and activity logs for tracking their teens’ posts and comments.

With the launch of the Family Sharing network, The Family Center is one of Instagram’s many ways to help parents and teens have safer experiences on the platform.

The Family Center gives parents and teens the ability to communicate safely, even when they’re apart. Teens get more independence, while moms and dads have more peace of mind.

Instagram is introducing tools and mobilizing communities to keep young people safe online.

Instagram, the social media platform with over 95 million daily active users, is helping to keep children safe and secure in the digital world. First launched in May, the new Family Link app lays a foundation for trust and accountability between teens and their parents by giving parents access to their teen’s accounts, helping them to grow closer to their kids.

With the launch of Instagram's new Family hub, parents can now monitor their teens' activity on the social media platform. The new feature, called First Blog, allows parents to create a separate Instagram account to follow and engage with other parents they know in real life or online.

The Family Safety Centre is a new feature on Instagram – a tool where parents can exchange information and chat with one another while monitoring their teens’ account activity.

Two new features were added to Instagram this week, meant to help make the platform safer for children and teens. First Blog is a messaging tool that allows users to send direct messages between family members. Parents can use this tool to talk with their teens directly through Instagram, and also access tools for working alongside them on their online presence. The Family Centre is another new feature that parents can add to their own accounts, allowing them to use a chat-style interface with direct access to the controls they need in order to set rules and monitor the activity of their children.
