What is an appropriate age for Instagram?
At what age can my child have an Instagram account?
To use Instagram, you must be of a certain age. We tell you more.Instagram is not open to everyone! Or at least not at all ages. Just like Facebook (who now owns the app) there is a minimum age to be registered on Instagram. This is specified in the conditions of access to the application, without verifying the identity of each user. So at what age can my child have an Instagram account?
Instagram's “Tips for Parents” page states that the minimum age to register on the app is 13 years old. This is particularly the case for France, because depending on the country this age varies and may be higher
That said, Instagram, like Facebook, does not verify its users. The app, however, advises parents with children under 13 to help them remove it.
It is also possible for parents of children under 13 registered on Instagram to report this account. In the advice section of the site, there is a form. This procedure will make it possible, after sending identity papers and proof of parentage or tutoring, to have the account deleted.
As a result of COPPA in the United States, many companies have been put at risk with their terms of service and privacy policies. This law, aimed at protecting the privacy of children on the net, has just made Instagram bend. Since its creation, the photo-sharing social network had never determined a minimum age for creating an account.
It is now done. To avoid the difficulties experienced by Disney in 2017 and Youtube in 2019, Instagram has unveiled several measures aimed at coming within the standards of the COPPA law. The most significant concerns the age below which it will be forbidden to use Instagram: the latter has been set at 13 years.
