Instagram Empowers Users with New Control Features

Instagram is introducing new features to enhance user control on the platform. One of these features is the hidden words option, which allows users to filter out unwanted content in their feed, search section, and other profiles. The company is also working on implementing features like publication archiving to improve the overall user experience.

Adam Mosseri, the head of Instagram, has announced new features that give users greater control over what they see on the platform. These new features aim to give users more control over their experience on the platform. The hidden words function allows users to personalize their feed by hiding specific content, including in the Search section, other user profiles, and responses to posts. Users can enter words, phrases, and emoticons in the ‘Manage custom words and phrases’ tab to further customize their content preferences.

In addition to the hidden words feature, Instagram is also testing the ability to silence notifications and connections to posts as well as controlling mentions. In the near future, users will be able to choose who mentions them and have the ability to opt-out of being mentioned in posts where they do not wish to appear. These new features will give users more control over their experience on the platform and help them curate their online presence accordingly.
