Instagram has launched a brand new feature to prevent teens from opening an Instagram account and using it on social media by lying about their real age.
Instagram has begun testing a video selfie feature to enforce minimum age platform rules based on the age of young users. Instagram has introduced a facial analysis video selfie feature to find out the age of the user.
You must be thirteen years old to open an Instagram account. However, many children and teenagers have opened their Instagram accounts by mistyping their date of birth and giving details over the age of 18.
But now with the launch of the Facial Analysis Video Selfie feature, teens who have to open an Instagram account have to work hard in the US to prove their age. Instagram has given them some options to prove their age. Teenagers who want to use Instagram are required to upload proof of any of their birth dates. Or instead, some adult Instagram users should recommend that teenagers who open an Instagram account are of the right age. The last resort is for teenagers who open an Instagram account to prove their age by submitting a video selfie.
For now, this feature is only available to teens in the United States who want to open an Instagram account. Once this feature is implemented in the United States, teens in United States will be able to view acceptable content that matches their age on Instagram.
Instagram has launched a new age verification feature to provide protection to adolescents and children, amid criticism that it is a safety challenge for adolescents and children.
Remember that with the online banking app to prove the age and identity of the user, video selfie is becoming a favorite technology on digital platforms.
Instagram had already launched a video selfie feature to unlock accounts based on their identity after the account was expedited. Which is currently being used to verify the age of teenagers.
To this end, Instagram has partnered with British digital identity supplier Yoti to develop age-finding technology by analyzing human faces.
