Instagram testing two new features to give you more control on your feed – Times of India
Instagram has announced that it is testing two new ways to give users more control over their feed. The developers at Instagram say that they are testing the ability to mark multiple posts in Explore as Not Interested. It aims to immediately hide those posts and refrain from showing users similar content in the future.
The developers will soon start testing the ability to tell Instagram you don’t want to see suggested posts with certain words, phrases or emojis in the caption or hashtags. “Whether you’re seeing something that’s not relevant, or have moved on from something you used to like, you can use this feature to stop seeing content that’s not interesting to you.”, they said in a blog post.
Instagram also gave out some tips to manage posts:
Use Favorites and Following
If a user adds any account to their Favorites, they can see that account’s posts higher and more often. There will also be a dedicated feed of your Favorites to catch up on just that account’s post.
With Following, users will see posts just from the accounts you follow, in chronological order. There will be no suggested posts in this case.
Use the Not Interested Control
If you tap Not Interested, it removes the post from your feed immediately, and there will be fewer similar posts for you.
Snooze Suggested Posts
Suggested Posts can be snoozed for 30 days. To snooze suggested posts, users have to tap the X on the top right corner, and then tap Snooze all suggested posts for 30 days.
Adjust Your Sensitive Content Control
Users can adjust the Sensitive Content Control to see more or less of some types of sensitive content. To view this, go to your profile, tap the Settings menu, tap Account and tap Sensitive Content control.
