Tens of millions of teenagers with Instagram accounts may soon find their public profiles made private.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s because, starting Tuesday, Instagram plans to default all new and existing accounts set up by people who have indicated they are under 18 years old to private mode. In that setting, an account holder must approve new followers before they can see, like or comment on their posts.<\/p>\n

The changes are part of a new effort by Instagram, called \u201cTeen Accounts,\u201d<\/a> that packages new and existing safeguards for young people on the app. The company said the settings would help create more age-appropriate experiences for minors.<\/p>\n

Instagram\u2019s privacy and other changes may help address intensifying concerns by lawmakers and parent groups about the effects of social media apps<\/a> on children. But they also risk irking some teenagers \u2014 and teen influencers \u2014 who are deeply invested in their public profiles.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
