Instagram Kids coming soon?
For a few years now, the web giants have been offering “children's” versions of their flagship applications. After YouTube Kids, Spotify Kids or Messenger Kids, we can therefore expect to see the arrival soon of Instagram Kids.
It is Vishal Shah, Vice President of Products at Instagram, who explains: “ We are going to build a new pillar of youth within the group of community products, with a view in particular to the development of a version of Instagram allowing people to under the age of 13 using Instagram safely for the first time ”.
At Facebook, we therefore not only want to strengthen the security of social networks for teenagers, but also to offer a brand new version of Instagram, entirely dedicated to young people under 13. A way for the youngest to take advantage of a "healthier" social network, without the slightest malicious adult, obviously with verification tools for parents.
Of course, at Facebook, we also want (and above all?) Not to be left behind by the competition, Snapchat and TikTok in the lead. Likewise, by initiating the young generation as early as possible to the joys of social networks in the “Kids” version, Facebook ensures that its entire ecosystem (Facebook, Instagram, Messenger, WhatsApp, etc.) is imposed on these same young people a few years older. late.
A few days ago, Facebook announced the implementation of new measures on Instagram, including one that aims to prevent adults from coming into contact with teenagers if they are not friends on the platform.
