News & Reviews:   Instagram for kids

Back in May, it was announced that both Facebook and Instagram were planning to build an Instagram Kids app version. However, it was met with some concerns from several parties including lawmakers and child specialists. This eventually led to a pause in the project.

After releasing Messenger Kids, Facebook is now moving on to develop another version of the Instagram app that is tailored for children under 13. However, it looks like the process will not be a smooth one as an international coalition of children's health advocates is urging Mark Zuckerberg to abandon the project.

An Instagram for kids? Yup, at least that's the idea for now according to Instagram Vice President, Vishal Shah. The company is planning to develop an app version for those who are under the age of 13 and it's now on the priority list. In case you didn't know, the current app version doesn't allow children under the age of 13 to use it.
