Facebook and Instagram announce new features to protect teens from unwanted contact. Parents will be consulted to approve or deny change requests into their teens' default security and privacy settings.

New feature designed to prevent teens from seeing unwanted and potentially inappropriate images in messages from people they are already connected with. The feature will also operate in encrypted chats and is expected to launch later this year. The updates reflect the commitment to creating safe and positive environments for adolescents, balancing privacy with protection against online risks. The company led by Mark Zuckerberg has 30 tools and functions to help teenagers and their parents.
