Update on July 31, 2026 at 12:30PM PT: We take the privacy of our users very seriously. We’re issuing a correction to this blog post to clarify that our AI does not use biometric data to identify whether a person is underage. It does not create facial fingerprints or identify who is in a photo.

It is trained to recognize general visual patterns that suggest someone who is underage is in the photo. Originally published on May 5, 2026 at 4:00AM PT: We want young people to have safe, positive experiences online. That’s why we automatically place teens in default, age-appropriate experiences, like Teen Accounts.

Today, we’re sharing updates on the age assurance technology we use to help ensure teens are in the right experiences for their age. This includes a deeper look at our ongoing work to strengthen underage enforcement, including the addition of AI visual analysis and other advancements; expanded protections for teens who we suspect misrepresent their age on Instagram in the EU and Brazil, and on Facebook in the US; and our ongoing efforts to help parents to talk to their teens about providing the correct age online.

For over a decade, we’ve built tools, features, and resources to help teens have safe, age-appropriate experiences on our apps. This includes launching Teen Accounts on Instagram, Facebook, and Messenger with built-in protections that limit who can contact teens and the content they see.

We’ve also revamped our content policies to automatically place teens under 18 into a 13+ content setting. To make sure teens on our apps are placed in these default experiences, we need to know their age. However, knowing someone’s age online is a complex, industry-wide challenge.
