Instagram launches a new update – Now you can filter out abusive messages, based on some offensive words, phrases or emojis. The new Instagram update focuses on the abuse people face in their Direct Message request inbox from people they don’t follow. Instagram announced the new feature on their blog.

Instagram new feature –

The feature will work in a similar way to the comment filters already offered by Instagram, which let you hide abusive comments as well as phrases and words you don’t want people to use in comments on your posts. 

To turn on the DM request filters, you can go to a new section of your privacy settings called Hidden Words. 

The best part is that this feature can be personalised based on your preferences. You can add a list of words or phrases that you deem offensive and DM’s containing such words or phrases would be blocked automatically.

The social media giant says it will be making it more difficult for someone you’ve blocked to contact you again through a new account. You’ll now have the option when you block someone to both block their account and block any new accounts they might make.
