Instagram testing two new methods to verify users’ age

  • Instagram says it is testing two different ways for users to verify their age online. 
  • Yoti, an AI tool, will estimate ages once users upload a video selfie of themselves. 
  • Second option lets people select three mutuals who would verify users’ age.

Meta-owned platform Instagram announced Thursday that it is testing new methods to verify users’ age on their platform. 

The photo/video sharing application said that it is testing two different ways which would allow the users to verify their age online, starting from the United States, Business Recorder reported. 

The app will also allow the users to upload their identities online. 

Director of data governance at Meta, Erica Finkle, said: “When we know if someone is a teen (13-17 years), we provide them with age-appropriate experiences like defaulting them into private accounts, preventing unwanted contact from adults they don’t know and limiting the options advertisers have to reach them with ads.” 

Instagram is partnering with Yoti — an AI tool which estimates an age of a person by scanning their face. 

Yoti will estimate the ages once the users upload a video selfie of themselves. The social app said that the videos will be deleted after the age verification. 

The second option lets the people select three mutuals who would verify the users’ age. However, those verifying must be at least 18 years old. 

The decision comes after Instagram was heavily criticised following the launch of Instagram Kids, which ended up putting the project on pause.

In a recent appearance on Ahmad Ali Butt’s podcast ‘Excuse Me’, actor Aagha Ali confirmed his separation from Hina Altaf, as the host referred to him as a ‘happily divorced man’.

“Life is challenging, yet I am currently faring quite well.” “Alhamdulillah, I am exceedingly pleased to express this sentiment and to experience it concurrently,” he stated.

The ‘Arranged Marriage’ actor stated, “One should consistently endeavor to the best of their ability to maintain a relationship founded on love and happiness and hope for its success.” However, if you are unable to succeed in either regard, the sole recourse is to part ways politely, extend well wishes to one another, and proceed forward.

“A significant outcome of this is that we will likely maintain mutual respect for one another,” he continued.

“I can affirm that it was exceedingly challenging, an experience I could never have envisioned in my life,” said Ali, urging his admirers to keep him in their prayers.

Aagha Ali wed co-star Hina Altaf in May 2020, amid the Covid-19 shutdown.

The pair initially ignited separation speculation last year when Ali suggested during a talk show appearance that he had been residing alone. The ex-couple had also ceased following each other on their respective Instagram accounts.
