‘Night Tips’ will appear on teens’ accounts and Instagram has confirmed it this function cannot be disabled. However, the social network did not specify whether the innovation would be applied to all young people or only to people under the age of 18.

Why it is necessary?

The motivation behind this innovation is to encourage young people who cannot use Instagram’s existing built-in features to log out of the app at night by tracking the time spent on the platform.

The management of the social network said:

We want teens to close Instagram feeling like their time on the app was meaningful and meaningful, and we know sleep is especially important for teens.

In addition to the Night Tips feature, Instagram provides teens and their parents with a number of tools to responsibly manage their time on the platform. These tools include parental controls and Silent Mode, which turns off in-app notifications and automatically sends replies to private messages, informing friends and followers that the user is currently unavailable, perhaps studying or sleeping.
