• “Nighttime blocks” restricting children’s access from 12:00 a.m. to 6:00 a.m.

• Limited school-time access for children, eliminating push notifications on weekdays from 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. during the school year

• Robust age assurance measures to more effectively verify the age of young users

• Safer, age-appropriate content controls, including stronger safeguards against bullying, content promoting eating disorders, and content related to su***de and self-harm

• Stronger, more user-friendly parental controls

• Limits on social comparison features, including beauty filters and visible “like” counts, that have been linked to poor mental health outcomes in kids and teens
