Sharing Date Of Birth On Instagram Mandatory

Date Of Birth On Instagram

Gone are the days when you could skip age verification, by not entering your date of birth on Instagram. With the new update rolling in, the Meta owned platform has made mandatory for users to enter their date of birth while creating an Instagram account.

The platform is also aiming to restrict access to kids below the age of 13 years. Last year in September, Instagram had announced that it would be building an Instagram for Kids app, but, those plans were dropped as it received a lot of criticism.

You can no longer punch in fake date of birth on Instagram. Here’s why –

With the advancements in Meta’s technology and with the introduction of Metaverse, newer, more advanced, AI-based algorithms can now reportedly detect a user’s accurate age.

This is done with the help of elements like gathering your age entered in apps or games linked to Facebook, or analysing the birthday wishes a user gets.

In the words of Instagram –

“Before you can continue using Instagram, you need to provide your birthday, even if this account is for something like a business or pet. This helps us protect younger people in our community. We’ll also use your birthday to help personalise your experience, including ads. It won’t be part of your public profile.”

Are you ready to enter your date of birth on Instagram?
