Instagram to notify parents of teens searching for suicide or self-harm information

Meta’s Instagram will soon notify parents when their teenage children search for suicide or self-harm content multiple times in a short period. This feature, part of Instagram’s supervision tools, will alert parents via email, text, WhatsApp, or in-app notifications, providing resources for discussing mental health. The initiative, launching next week in the U.S., UK, Australia, and Canada, follows previous age-based content restrictions aimed at protecting younger users.
