The new measures come as Instagram faces scrutiny for its potentially negative effects on young people.
One new feature, “Take a Break,” aims to keep teens out of a cycle of endless scrolling. Users can set regular reminders to step away from Instagram when they’ve been using the app for a certain amount of time.A message pops up with suggestions of nonscreen activities teens can do to recharge, including “take a few deep breaths” and “write down what you’re thinking.”
Another feature notes when a user has been looking at posts under a certain topic — say, beauty — for a long time, and gently nudges them to check out other topics. The app will nudge users toward other topics if they've been focusing on one category of content for a long time.Teen users will also be given more control over the content they share, and will be able to delete old photos in bulk rather than one-by-one.
