Keeping your child safe on Instagram

Last week, Susan McLean (Cyber Safety Expert), shared the news that Instagram has launched a parental control system to help both parents & teens stay safer online. A really good step forward.  We know that Primary School age children are not supposed to access Instagram, but they do!

 

See below for the steps to take. 

Firstly select your profile icon at the bottom right of the Instagram App ( it has a person symbol with a circle around it).  

Then go to the 3 bars Icon at top right of screen

 Select settings, supervision and then create invitation.
