What Parents Need to Know about Instagram
A free online safety guide on Instagram.
Instagram is one of the most popular social media platforms in the world, with over 1 billion users worldwide. The platform allows users to upload images and videos to their feed, create interactive ‘stories’, share live videos, exchange private messages or search, explore and follow other accounts they like – whilst at the same time continuously updating and adding new features to meet the needs of its users.
In the guide, you’ll find tips on a number of potential risks such as addiction, unrealistic ideals and the influencer culture.
