Overview

• Accounts identified as under 18 now default to a film-style PG-13 standard across feed, Stories, search and recommendations, with Meta’s AI chat responses also constrained to that level.
• The default cannot be changed by minors without parental approval, and an optional “Contenido limitado” setting further filters posts and disables the ability to view or post comments.
• Teens will be prevented from following or interacting with accounts that regularly share age-inappropriate material, and those accounts are removed from recommendations.
• Search restrictions for adolescents now block sensitive and adult topics such as suicide, self-harm, eating disorders, alcohol and gore, including attempts to find them via misspellings.
• The update is live in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom and Australia, with expansion to Europe and other countries in early 2026, and Meta says age-prediction and verification tools will help catch evasion.
