For a better user experience on the Instagram platform, apps are working hard to ensure users are facilitated in the best way possible. And Instagram seems to be taking the lead with its new feature lineup.
The app is launching new tools that allow users to take breaks from its platform and even manage what they’re shown across the feed in terms of recommendations.
For starters, the app’s new Quiet Mode is causing a stir. The idea behind the approach is to turn off all notifications from the app when you select it as your profile status and start to implement that as the autoresponder for DMs.
Users are allowed to manually set up this particular Quiet Mode on the platform that incorporates necessary alerts so contacts know you might not be wanting them to disturb you.
The company released a message on this matter, speaking in detail about how many teens spoke about wanting some time away from the platform while they’re sleeping or busy studying.
You can then customize such quiet modes in a manner that best fits into your schedule. So when you turn this feature off, you’ll end up with a swift summary of everything that you may have missed out on.
The app has further spoken about how such features are up for grabs by anyone on the app, including teens that might be spending a little too much time on things like this app during the later hours of the night.
It’s a great initiative we believe as many people could end up getting caught in such traps after they’re found online at all times of the day. Remember, we all need breaks from social media to prevent it from turning into some sort of huge trap.
All brains require associated time for rest as users tend to feel super comfortable as friends would understand better and won’t feel like they might be getting ignored by a user. We think it’s just a wonderful way to provide more insights into your current life’s happening.
For now, this quiet mode feature is up for grabs to all users across the UK and the US. But at the same time, users in Canada, New Zealand, and Ireland are also going to be getting it soon as well as other regions.
In addition to that, the app is launching new tools with the self-moderation theme that includes the likes of hiding recommendations on the feed that are solely based on certain keywords.
As can be witnessed across such sequences, when posts are hidden on the feed, you tend to witness features like, ‘Don’t suggest posts with certain words’ pop up on the list. After clicking on that, you can mute topics from the list of recommendations as well as the listings entailing Explore.
Users would be given the chance to disguise several posts in one go through their Explore button feature that users may not be keen on seeing. Simply press on the Hide more option so you end up including a list of posts that you’re not wanting to see. This gives the app a hint of what your content preferences could be.
This may come in handy for a lot of people. The news comes as the platform is designed to bring up its push in the world of content moderation while its AI systems end up guessing topics that you adore depending on what your activity on the app is like.
Meta really wishes it could double down on the number of recommendations taking place in the user feeds by this year’s end. Remember, this may mean around 15% of what you happen to be witnessing is arising through the likes of AI recommendations and its affiliated tools.
Users’ Instagram experience will surely be better as you’re now in charge of training the algorithm, depending more on what you adore.
Last but not least, the app is adding another feature to its Family Center. This is for parents to keep a better check on their kids’ respective privacy and how their accounts are set up.
They would be aware of any change in settings and why such changes were made in the first place.
