Meta is rolling out its AI-driven age detection technology worldwide to identify teens who may have misrepresented their age and automatically apply Teen Account protections across Instagram, Facebook, and Threads, enhancing safety for young users globally.
today announced the global expansion of its AI technology to help identify teens who may have misrepresented their age online and place them in Teen Account protections.
For more than a decade, Meta has worked with leading experts to build tools and retive experiences on its apps. Teen Accounts on Instagram, Facebook, and Messenger provide teens with built-in protections that automatically limit who can contact them, what they see, and how much time they spend on the apps. Ensuring all teens receive these protections depends on knowing their age

This remains an industry-wide challenge, as some teens may misrepresent their age online to access experiences they are not old enough to use. To address this, Meta uses AI to identify people it suspects are teens, even if they use an adult birthday, and place them under Teen Account protections. Since introducing this technology, Meta has placed more teens in age-appropriate protections and is encouraged by the results. Based on this success, the company is now expanding the technology globally.
As a result, millions more teens worldwide who use Instagram will receive these built-in protections, even if they have misrepresented their age. For parents, this means greater peace of mind. No matter where they live, Meta is making proactive efforts to place teens in age-appropriate protections, even if they use an adult birthday to set up an account. Meta is continuing to roll out this technology on Facebook and, later this year, will begin launching similar technology globally on Threads.
