Instagram Boosts User Control with Hidden Words Feature and Other Customization Options

Instagram is introducing new features to enhance user control on the platform. The hidden words option allows users to filter out unwanted content in their feed, search section, and other profiles. This feature gives users greater flexibility in customizing their content preferences.

Adam Mosseri, the head of Instagram, announced these new features at a recent press conference. He explained that the platform is working on implementing features like publication archiving to improve the overall user experience. These new features will give users more control over what they see on the platform and how they interact with it.

Users can now enter words, phrases, and emoticons in the ‘Manage custom words and phrases’ tab to further customize their content preferences. The platform is also testing the ability to silence notifications and connections to posts, as well as controlling mentions. These new features aim to give users more control over their experience on the platform and help them personalize their feeds according to their interests.
