A sticking point in the process is that kids need to sign up if they want parents to supervise their accounts. Instagram launched parental supervision tools last year to help families navigate the platform and find resources and guidance. It does not let parents see message content. If a teen opts in, the system will let parents set time limits, see who their kid follows or is followed by, and allows them to track how much time the minor spends on Instagram.

The idea is to grab kids’ attention when they might be more open to parental guidance. Instagram will now send a notice to teens after they block someone, encouraging them to let their parents “supervise” their account.
