Instagram app asks birth-date while signing up

Instagram app makes it compulsory to add your birth date while signing up
Instagram aspp makes it a compulsion for the users to add their birth date while signing up on the Instagram app.
Earlier, Instagram never asked its users to fill in their birthdate while signing up on the app. This allowed the children below the age of thirteen years to sign up as well.
Reason for making birthdate compulsory
The Instagram app wants to reduce the number of users below the age of 13 years. A few years ago, Instagram made the age verification process mandatory. This is done in order to make the app safe for kids.
The user information helps the company to create new features for young people. It also helps them to provide the right features to the right age groups.
Instagram is using the artificial intelligence system to differentiate between real and fake accounts on the app. The process is on an early stage and more details will be shared soon.
Currently, the Instagram app is using the data from the Facebook app to verify fake accounts.
