New safeguards will be implemented to protect young users. Stricter measures to verify age will be put in place, and limits will be set on daily usage for teens. Default settings will also be changed, including turning off notifications during certain hours and hiding certain interactive features to reduce comparisons.

A settlement has been reached that includes these new requirements. The agreement is valued at over $1 billion and is intended to strengthen protections for children and teens.

Further details about the settlement and its terms are available from the Texas Attorney General’s Office, which announced the agreement with a major technology company.
