Instagram seems to be on a roll these days as Meta’s popular app is said to be working on a series of features to keep users safe and entertained.
The platform has just added a host of features that it feels can keep people safe and free from scams. These include a long list of safeguards to ward off any activities that they might find suspicious.
So you can say hello to new warnings and alerts from scammy profiles who are seeking an opportunity to connect. Moreover, it would also include new alerts when you’re tagged or mentioned by a specific account that isn’t on your list already.
For starters, the latest set of warnings across Instagram includes the system detecting the impersonation of a separate entity or the engagement with questionable profiles. Any malicious themed requests and beyond would now all be put out in the open for the user in case they are potentially linked to a scam online.
The company just rolled out a series of examples on the app with a wide range of warnings that alert users about potential problems with those accounts who are seeking a connection. This might be a great way to keep users on alert for harms carried out by such schemes and also roll out dedicated tags that gather greater awareness regarding particular actions taking place online.
The app would also generate more alerts where users are tagged or added in the mentions section by a host of other accounts that are not a part of their followers. This means the user is likely to review the privacy settings in place and any safety measures required.
This would ensure they can comprehend what every tag means and how it could be controlled via an interaction.
Hence, we can see how this is a more direct means for displaying safety measures as users are now more aware of which interactions are taking place and how it could serve more value and purpose to enhance awareness regarding misuse or concerns.
This might be of great benefit and therefore makes so much sense for the app to combine alerts directly. In the past, that was not available and it was up to the user to comprehend text on their own for every part of the app and update privacy settings to better tackle the initiative.
Research has proven that most individuals do not update settings, ever. So through such tools, we can see how settings could make a lot of users more aware of how to stay safe on this app.
In other news, the Threads app is also finally listening to requests about post-scheduling. There was a live test carried out for this API recently and we can only imagine how many users are excited to make the most of this very handy endeavor.
It’s great news for a long list of managers on social media and also a great means to gather more engagement on the app as a whole. Threads is testing this out with a few of its partners and this means we can soon say hello to post-scheduling.
This has only been possible through effective collaborations with third-party apps and it should be remembered that this is only the first phase of API live testing that has been developing behind the curtain for several months now.
So if you’re on the lookout for ways to better and more effectively manage posts on Threads, then this is the way to do it.
