Instagram Unveils New Features to Enhance User Experience with Customized Control

Instagram has recently unveiled several new features that allow users to have more control over their social media experience. One of these features is the “hidden words” option, which lets users filter out unwanted content in their feed, search section, and other profiles. Additionally, Instagram is working on enhancing user experience with the ability to archive old posts.

Adam Mosseri, head of Instagram, announced these new features that give users greater control over what they see. The hidden words function allows users to personalize their content by hiding specific words, phrases, and emojis. This feature extends to both the ‘Following’ and ‘For you’ feeds as well as the Search section and responses in publications.

Another upcoming feature is the ability to mute notifications and connections to posts as well as giving users control over who can mention them. This will allow users to choose who can mention them and easily remove mentions from posts where they do not wish to appear.

Aside from these new features, users can also customize their experience by entering specific words and phrases to restrict in the settings section. The platform already filters out offensive or harmful content by default, but the new hidden words option allows for additional customization. Instagram is committed to improving user experience and providing more control over what appears on the platform.
