Instagram Introduces New Features to Enhance User Control on the Platform: Hidden Words and Archiving Features Improve User Experience

Instagram is introducing new features to enhance user control on the platform. One of the new features is the ‘hidden words’ option that allows users to filter out unwanted content in their feed, search section and other profiles. The company is also working on implementing features like publication archiving to improve the overall user experience.

Adam Mosseri, head of Instagram, has announced new features that give users greater control over what they see on the platform. These features include the hidden words function that allows users to personalize their feed by hiding specific content. Users can now enter words, phrases and emoticons in the ‘Manage custom words and phrases’ tab to further customize their content preferences.

In addition, Instagram is testing the ability to silence notifications and connections to posts as well as controlling mentions. In the near future, users will be able to choose who mentions them and have the ability to opt-out of being mentioned in posts where they do not wish to appear. These new features aim to give users more control over their experience on the platform.
