Facebook appears to be working on a new version of its popular photo-sharing social media network, Instagram. It looks like the social media giant is planning to target children under 13 with the new version that might possibly be called Instagram for Kids. This development comes after Buzzfeednews found the mention of such a service on internal docs. To top things off, Head of Instagram Adam Mosseri confirmed the same through a tweet.
Facebook working on Instagram for kids under the age of 13
For those who’re unaware, Facebook restricts users under the age of 13 to sign up for its popular Instagram service. While restricting them on the platform makes sense, Instagram might see a new version dedicated for kids under 13 down the road. According to Mosseri, “kids are increasingly asking their parents if they can join apps that help them keep up with their friends”.
