Instagram brings new age verification options to India: Here’s how it works

Meta-owned social media service Instagram has been adding more new features to the platform to make it a safer space for users and one of the areas it has been working on for this is age verification. The platform started introducing new ways to verify age in some regions earlier this year and these options are now coming to more countries, including India and Brazil.

Already available in the US, the new age verification method will require users to use one of two methods to change their date of birth on Instagram, to edit their age from under 18 or 18 to above 18. These methods include uploading ID and video selfies.
