Instagram new features are designed to offer more protection to young users, both from the negative impacts of overuse of the app and from predators that may be lurking within its network.
Instagram has announced a new parental control option that will enable parents and guardians to set limits on how much time their teens spend in the app.
As you can see here, the new option will also enable parents to see how much time their child is currently spending in the app – though I can only imagine the fury if a parent opted to only allow their child 30 minutes per day online.
In addition to this, Instagram has also officially announced its new ‘Take a Break’ prompts.
As shown here, the new option will enable users to set reminders to take some time away from the app after a certain period of activity, with either 10, 20 or 30 minute activity reminders.
“To make sure that teens are aware of this feature, we’ll show them notifications suggesting they turn these reminders on. Early test results show that once teens set the reminders, more than 90% of them keep them on. We’re launching this feature in the US, UK, Ireland, Canada, New Zealand and Australia today, and we’ll bring it to everyone by early next year.”
Instagram’s also launching new bulk delete options, which will enable users to delete all of their photos, videos, likes and comments quickly and easily.
And finally, Instagram is adding a new process that will prompt users to check out other topics if they’ve been dwelling on certain topics for too long.
