In June 2022, Instagram began testing a new age verification program in the United States when users change their registration date of birth from under 18 to over 18. In addition to the conventional 'confirmation by uploading an identification card', this program adds new options such as 'confirmation by uploading a selfie video' and 'identification by other users'.
Age verification by selfie videos will be done in partnership with Yoti , a digital age authentication company, and will use a system that estimates age with AI. The selfie video will not be used for any purpose other than age verification, and Meta and Yoti explain that the selfie video data will be deleted once the age verification is completed.

Instagram also reports that 'identification by other users' will be removed from the test. TechCrunch, a technology media outlet, said, ``Instagram has not explained why, but some users may have tricked the system by asking mutual followers over the age of 18 to lie.'' Did.
