Meta is rolling out tighter teen messaging limitations and parental controls


Meta announced today that it is rolling out new DM restrictions on both Facebook and Instagram for teens that prevent anyone from messaging teens. Until

Previously, when teens changed these settings, guardians got a notification, but they couldn’t take any action on them.

The company added that this feature will work in end-to-end encrypted chats as well and will “discourage” teens from sending these types of images.
