The Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA), in collaboration with Meta, inaugurated Instagram’s new safety feature “Teen Accounts” designed to enhance online protection for young users in Pakistan.
The feature automatically places users under 16 into Teen Accounts, restricting unwanted contact and filtering sensitive content, while allowing safe digital exploration, said a news release.
The launch event was attended by representatives from Meta, UNICEF/NCRC, and key child protection stakeholders. The programme included awareness sessions and live demonstrations on online safety tools.
