Facebook can now sync your Instagram contacts to Messenger – TechCrunch

Facebook wants to expand your Messenger contact list with a little help from Instagram. When you tap on "Connect Instagram," Messenger adds contacts from Instagram automatically. As one Twitter user pointed out, it's not clear that pushing "Connect Instagram" (the button's title that appeared to some), means Messenger will automatically add your Instagram contacts to Messenger. In December 2017, TechCrunch spotted a very similar option to sync Instagram contacts to Messenger in the same People section. For example, in 2016 it gave businesses access to a unified inbox of conversations from across its platforms, including Facebook, Instagram and Messenger.

Facebook and Instagram take tougher stance on underage kids

coupled with Getty ImagesFacebook and Instagram instructed their moderators to take a tougher stance on underage kids. Previously, Facebook only deleted the accounts of children younger than 13 if someone reported them for their age. In the documentary report, a reviewer says they were told to ignore users who appear underage. Facebook also detailed its updated guidance on minors in a blog post responding to the Channel 4 documentary. In April, Facebook updated its Messenger Kids spinoff app -- which is designed specifically for children aged 12 and under -- to add a "sleep mode," which allows parents to set parameters for when their kids can and can't use the app.
