    Instagram Introduces New Age Verification Test for Indian Users

    New Delhi: Meta-owned Instagram has brought its new test for users to verify their age via an original ID or video selfie to India, amid growing worries that kids are using fake dates of birth to create profiles on social media platforms.

    If someone attempts to edit their date of birth on Instagram from under the age of 18 to 18, or over, in India, the company will now require them to verify their age using one of two options: upload their ID or record a video selfie.

    Instagram Rolls Out New Feature, Users Can Now Enjoy Longer Uninterrupted Stories.

    "We're testing this so we can make sure teens and adults are in the right experience for their age group.

    Testing began in June this year in the US, and now it's expanding to India and Brazil," the company said. "

    We're also removing Social Vouching as an option to verify age from the test to make some improvements," Instagram added.
