Instagram To Release Update to Reset Suggested Content

Share

Instagram is testing a new feature which allows people to completely remove all the content being recommended to them. 

Its "reset" tool - which it says will be available globally "soon" - effectively cleanses a user's feed of content suggested by the site's algorithm, though Instagram says recommendations will "start to personalise again over time."

It comes as Instagram has announced a raft of new features aimed at improving the wellbeing of people on the platform, with safety features in October following new teen accounts launched in September.

There is also a fierce international debate on how to keep young people safe online, with Australia recently proposing banning social media for under-16s.
