Facebook Pausing Instagram For Kids
  • 3 years ago
Facebook ($FB@US) announced it’s pausing work on its plan to develop an Instagram for kids. It will reevaluate the project at a later date. In the meantime, it will continue to focus on teen safety and expanding parental supervision features for teens. The new Instagram app will be meant for children aged 10 to 12. The pause comes after a Wall Street Journal report showed Facebook repeatedly found its Instagram app to be harmful to teenagers. The Journal cited Facebook studies over the past three years that examine how Instagram affects its younger user base. Teenage girls were the most notably harmed.
