Every day, teens and young people do amazing things on our services.
They use our apps to create new things, express themselves, explore the world around them, and feel more connected to the people they care about.
Overall, teens tell us that this is a positive part of their lives.
But some face challenges online, so we work hard to provide parents and teens support and controls to reduce potential harms.
Being a parent is one of the hardest jobs in the world.
Technology gives us new ways to communicate with our kids and feel connected to their lives, but it can also make parenting more complicated.
And it's important to me that our services are positive for everyone who uses them.
We are on the side of parents everywhere working hard to raise their kids.
Over the last eight years, we've built more than 30 different tools, resources, and features that parents can set time limits for their teens using our apps, see who they're following, or if they report someone for bullying.
For teens, we've added nudges to remind them when they've been using Instagram for a while or if it's getting late and they should go to sleep, as well as ways to hide words or people without those people finding out.
