Limited audience settings were released to general users in November.

Teens will automatically be limited to only receive Close Friends notifications.

Instagram and its parent company Meta have been putting in work to overhaul its image as the preeminent danger to youth safety, following several incriminating reports that Meta execs intentionally ignored warnings about youth safety and wellbeing. Several lawsuits, as well as a high-profile Senate hearing featuring testimonies from several social media leaders, have cast even more doubt on the company's youth safety commitments.

In April, Meta unveiled it was testing new features to limit nudity and sexual extortion scams.

While teens will be defaulted into these settings, users can find audience options under the profile settings in the app. Note that these restrictions aren't indefinite, however. Users can only choose to limit their engagements for up to four weeks at a time, so users need to constantly adjust their settings.
