Instagram is now adding an age checking feature for new users, anyone who signs up to a new account must be 13 years of age or older.
Instagram will now start to ask for peoples date of birth when they sign up for a new account, if you sign up using your Facebook account it will use your date of birth from your profile.
Starting today, we will be asking for your date of birth when creating an account on Instagram. According to our Terms of Use, you must be at least 13 years old to have an account in most countries. Asking for this information will help prevent underage people from joining Instagram, help us keep young people safer and enable more age-appropriate experiences overall. Your birthday will not be visible to others on Instagram, but you’ll be able to see it when viewing your own private account information.
You can find out more details about the changes coming to Instagram over at their website at the link below.
