With many teens spending almost all of their time online, parents are concerned that social media is exposing them to harmful content. Faced with growing pressure to stop online harm, Instagram has introduced a major new update to protect young people and give parents more control.

Under 18s now signing up for Instagram in the US, UK, Canada and Australia will be automatically enrolled into a restricted teen account. Existing accounts will be transferred by mid-November.

The European Union will get teen accounts later this year, and the rest of the world in January. Other Meta services like Facebook will get teen accounts next year.

What limits will teen accounts have?
Instagram already prohibits anyone under 13 from signing up.

Now, teen accounts will automatically be set to private, so they'll have to accept or reject new follower requests. Other users won't be able to see their posts or tag the account.

Teens will also only receive direct messages from people they're following or who follow them.

Teens won't be shown content involving sensitive topics and an anti-bullying feature will screen out offensive words in comments and message requests.

To reduce their screen time, teens will get a notification to stop using the app after it's been open for over an hour — which they can ignore.

Sleep mode between 10 p.m. and 7 a.m. will mute notifications and send auto-replies to direct messages. However, they can still use Instagram and answer messages if they want to.

Are there workarounds?
These limits will be turned on automatically for all teens, but 16 and 17-year-olds can turn them off. Kids under 16 will need permission to do so and parents can make changes and approve or deny any requests.

However, if parents want to use teen controls, they'll need an Instagram account.

Instagram Introduces New Teen Accounts Settings

The largest diamond found in more than a century has been unearthed at a mine in Botswana, and the country's president showed off the fist-sized stone to the world on August 22.

The Botswana government says the huge 2,492-carat diamond is the second-biggest ever discovered in a mine. It's the biggest diamond found since 1905.

The diamond was presented to the world at the office of Botswana President Mokgweetsi Masisi. It weighs about half a kilogram and Masisi was one of the first to hold it.

Masisi said: "I am lucky to have seen it in my time." He said "wow" before calling government officials over to take a closer look.

Officials said it was too early to value the stone or decide how it would be sold. Another smaller diamond from the same mine in Botswana was sold for $63 million in 2016, a record for a rough gem.

Naseem Lahri, Botswana managing director for Lucara, the Canadian mining company that found the diamond, added: "I am very proud. It is a product of Botswana."

Lucara said in a statement that it recovered the "exceptional" rough diamond from its Karowe Mine in central Botswana. Lucara said it was a "high-quality" stone and was found intact.

It was located using X-ray technology designed to find large, high-value diamonds.

The weight would make it the largest diamond found in 119 years and the second-largest ever dug out of a mine after the Cullinan Diamond that was discovered in South Africa in 1905.

The famous Cullinan was 3,106 carats and was cut into gems, some of which form part of the British Crown Jewels.

Botswana, a country of 2.6 million people in southern Africa, is the second-biggest producer of natural diamonds behind Russia and has unearthed all of the world's biggest stones in recent years.
