Instagram has rolled out a unique and fun feature for its teenage users (teen accounts). This feature allows users to customize the Instagram icon on their phones. The company says this feature will help young people make the app more personal and expressive.

Six new stylized icons will be available.
This Instagram update adds a total of six different visual styles, including designs like fire, floral, chrome, cosmic, and slime. These icons were created by renowned illustrator Carlos Oliveiras Colom and Instagram's in-house design team.

How to change your Instagram icon
If you have a Teen Account, you can easily use this feature.
Tap the Instagram logo at the top of the app.
Here, you'll see a menu where you can choose from different designs.
After selecting your desired icon, it will appear on your phone's home screen.

Why was this feature launched
According to the company, this update is a step towards making Instagram a more creative and safe platform for young users. This feature allows users to express their personality and mood on their phone's home screen. In recent years, Instagram has been focusing on exclusive settings and privacy tools for teen accounts, such as screen time reminders, content controls, and limits on sensitive posts.

A similar feature has been introduced before.
Interestingly, in 2020, for Instagram's 10th anniversary, the company briefly introduced the icon change feature. However, it was temporary. This time, the company has made it permanent and exclusive to teen accounts.
