Instagram is launching a feature that will allow users to see pictures of children who are missing in their area. The Amber Alerts will be available in 25 countries.
Meta announced Wednesday that Instagram would launch Amber Alerts on the social media platform in an effort to help find missing children.
The feature, which begins rolling out immediately, will allow users to see and share notices of missing kids in their area. Those countries are Argentina, Australia, Belgium, Bulgaria, Canada, Ecuador, Greece, Guatemala, Ireland, Jamaica, Korea, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malaysia, Malta, Mexico, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Romania, South Africa, Taiwan, Ukraine, the U.K., the United Arab Emirates and the U.S.
– which launched in 2015 – and said that the feature was developed in partnership with organizations like the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children , the International Centre for Missing & Exploited Children , the National Crime Agency, the Attorney General’s Office in Mexico and the Australian Federal Police."We know that the chances of finding a missing child increase when more people are on the lookout, especially in the first few hours.
The alert will include important details about the child, like a photo, description, location of the abduction and any other pertinent information. Alerts are specific to locations and Instagram said it uses a variety of signals – like the city on a profile, location services that are turned on and IP addresses – in order to know who to show the alerts to.
