Instagram launched a new parent-oriented guide that helps them tackle topics like safeguarding their privacy, controlling comments and managing their time spent in the app
'We know that as a parent it may be hard to understand the changing digital landscape and what your kids are doing online,' Instagram explains on the site.
'That's why we've created this resource. We're here to fill you in on what Instagram is all about, give you some conversation starters for you and your teen, and show you some of the tools that are in place to keep your teen safe.'
The guide ranges from very basic things, like a glossary of commonly used terms on Instagram, such as 'block,' 'IGTV' or 'Stories,' to more complex topics, like how to filter out offensive comments on the app.
It instructs parents to discuss with their kids whether they should make their account public or private and what kinds of privacy controls they have on the app.
These controls include things like filtering out certain offensive words from appearing in comments, blocking users and disabling people from commenting on posts entirely.
Users can also choose specific groups that can comment on posts and report comments they deem offensive or inappropriate.
Instagram also included a list of prompts to help steer that conversation between parents and kids. It includes topics that focus around privacy, how often they use the app and more
The site also breaks down the kinds of time management tools that are offered on Instagram.
Instagram rolled out these features in recent months and they're aimed at helping kids become more aware of just how much time they're spending in the app on a daily or weekly basis.
Users can also set reminders that limit how much time they spend on the app each day, as well as mute notifications from Instagram for the remainder of the day.
The firm is expected to roll out more time management features in future app updates.
While none of these features are new, Instagram executives explained in an supplementary video that it's likely most parents aren't aware that such privacy and time management controls exist in the app.

They added that knowing how the app works can help parents start a conversation with their kids about how they use Instagram.
Instagram also included a list of prompts to help steer that conversation between parents and kids.
This ranges from questions about how their child would respond to bullying on Instagram to whether or not they've ever felt uncomfortable by content shared on the app.
What's more, the firm noted that it consulted with a variety of outside organizations to develop the guide, including the National Alliance for Mental Illness, Boys & Girls Clubs of America, PACER's National Bullying Prevention Center and the National Eating Disorder Association, among many others.

It comes as ...
It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
