Instagram’s new update will protect users from abusive and harmful content – Times of India
Instagram has announced some new enhancements which will protect both users and creators from harmful message requests and comments. The Meta-owned platform has introduced improved blocking options, Hidden Words update and more.
Instagram reveals that now when you block someone you’ll have the option to block other accounts they may already have, making it more difficult for them to interact with you again on Instagram.
Instagram has introduced the Hidden Words feature. The new feature will allow users to automatically filter harmful content from their comments and message requests. Instagram claims that when people turn on Hidden Words for comments, on average, they see 40% fewer comments that might be offensive.
The social networking platform will automatically enable the feature for the creators accounts. The creators can create a custom list of words, phrases and emojis they wish to hide. The feature will also support new languages which include Farsi, Turkish, Russian, Bengali, Marathi, Telugu, and Tamil.
Along with this, Instagram is also expanding the use of nudges to encourage more people to pause and reflect before they say something that could be hurtful in comments or message requests. Now, a new notification will encourage people to pause and consider how they want to respond before replying to a comment that our systems tell us could be offensive. These nudges are live now for people whose apps are set to English, Portuguese, Spanish, French, Chinese or Arabic.
This nudge helps people remember that there’s a real person on the other side of their DM request, and encourages more respectful outreach to people they may not know
