Instagram is testing two new methods for ageverification: Uploading AI-powered video selfies and asking your mutuals to vouch for your stated age.
Continuing on with its push for age verification and the enforcement of its age requirement, Instagram announced that it would be testing new age-verification methods to help primarily younger users verify their ages with the popular photo and video sharing app.
On Thursday, Instagram announced via a blog post that the test of these new age-verification options would begin today and would include U.S. users at first. Essentially, users who try to edit their stated birthdays on the app — to reflect an age that is over the age of 18 instead of their previously stated age of younger than 18 — will then be required to “verify their age using one of three options: upload their ID, record a video selfie, or ask mutual friends to verify their age.
If you’re not comfortable with uploading your ID to verify your age and you’re in the U.S., you can also use the two newer options that Instagram is now testing: AI-powered video selfies or asking your mutual followers to vouch for your stated age. Of these two options, the AI-powered video selfies are expected to be the faster method, as Instagram’s screenshot says it should only take 20 minutes.
