Meta. has recently rolled out new Instagram DM control options, which are designed to help users avoid unwanted contact, particularly in the form of images and videos that they don’t want to receive.
As shown in these screenshots below, the new restrictions, which Instagram first began testing back in June, will mean that DMs from users that you’re not connected with in the app will now be limited to text-only invites, which the recipient will have to accept before you can make any further contact. Users will only be able to send a single invite to each user.
In the words. of Instagram –
“We want people to feel confident and in control when they open their inbox. That’s why we’re testing new features that mean people can’t receive images, videos or multiple messages from someone they don’t follow, until they’ve accepted the request to chat. We’re grateful for the feedback we hear from our community, and we’ll keep listening to find ways to help everyone feel safer on Instagram.”
With more interactions switching to DMs, especially among younger users, Meta’s keen to maximize safety controls, in order to help youngsters avoid unwanted attention, and solicitation, in the app.
New Instagram DM Control Options have been rolled out globally.
