Instagram requires everyone to be at least 13 years old before they can create an account (some regions like South Korea, Spain or Quebec have different age requirements). Accounts that represent someone under the age of 13 must clearly state in the account’s bio that the account is managed by a parent or manager. If your child is younger than 13 and has an account that isn’t managed by you or a manager, you can show them how to delete their account.

If you'd like to report an account belonging to someone under 13 or if you believe someone is impersonating your child who's under 13, please fill out this form. We will delete the account if we can't verify the account is managed by someone over 13 years old.

We ask for and use age-related information from people using our platform for age verification and other purposes, including to help ensure compliance with our Terms of Use. These initiatives are part of our efforts to promote safety, security and integrity. Learn more about how we work to keep Meta a safe place for everyone.
