In response to mounting criticism over inadequate safeguards for teenagers, Meta Platforms Inc.'s (NASDAQ:META) Instagram is extending its "Limits" feature to enhance user protection against online harassment.
What Happened: Instagram’s "Limits" feature, initially created to help creators manage harassment campaigns, is now available to all users, reported The Verge.
This feature enables users to mute comments and direct messages from all accounts, except those on their close friends list. It allows users who are not in your close friends list to still interact with your posts. However, when the “Limits” feature is enabled, these interactions will be hidden from your view. The muted accounts will be unaware that their content is hidden. You can still choose to view them if you want.
