Mosseri said in a post that the new features are designed to make it safer for young people and that the platform will take a stricter approach to what it recommends to teens.
The measures will allow parents and guardians to monitor how much time their teens spend on the app, set time limits, and notify them in case their teen reports someone on the platform.
The platform is working on an educational hub for parents that focuses on children's social media use.
The company said it will allow users who have opted in to take a break after a certain amount of time to do so.
The Wall Street Journal reported that the parental controls will be an "opt-in" feature where teen users will have to give access to their parents.

Mosseri is expected to face questions about the impact of the social media app on young users when he appears before a Senate's consumer protection subcommittee on Wednesday.
The key background.
Mosseri said in Tuesday's post that the social platform has been working on these safety features for a long time, however, the announcement comes just a few months after damaging reports about the social platform's impact on young users. In September, the Wall Street Journal published an investigative report about internal studies at Facebook that found that the photo sharing site,Instagram, has harmful effects on a significant portion of its millions of young users. One in three teenage girls have body image issues, and teens blame the social media platform for increases in the rate of anxiety and depression, according to the company. Facebook denied the report, saying it was not accurate. The company said it had heard from many teens that using the image-sharing platform helps them when they are struggling with the kinds of hard moments and issues they have always faced.
The Wall Street Journal reported that the social media site has tools to keep teens safe.
The New York Times reports that parental controls will be on the app in March.
