After Instagram announced a new initiative meant to \u201cnudge\u201d teen users away from harmful content last year, the platform says<\/a> it\u2019s finally rolling out the feature in the US, UK, Ireland, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. If a teen\u2019s spending too long on Instagram\u2019s Explore page looking at posts with a particular theme, the platform will display a notification suggesting that they look at other types of posts instead.<\/p>\n

Instagram says the feature \u201cis designed to encourage teens to discover something new and excludes certain topics that may be associated with appearance comparison.\u201d As shown in an image of the feature, users will receive a notification that prompts them to \u201cChoose what to explore next\u201d with a variety of posts they can choose from instead. Tapping into a post will let users scroll through a different stream of content that isn\u2019t related to the topic the teen was previously looking at.<\/p>\n

An external study<\/a> cited by Instagram indicates that 58.2 percent of respondents \u201cagreed or strongly agreed that nudges made their social media experience better by helping them become more mindful of their time on-platform.\u201d Instagram says its own test of the feature shows a similar trend \u2014 over a one-week period, Instagram saw one in five users switch topics when they received a nudge.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe want to make sure people feel good about the time that they spend on Instagram… This is a way to softly encourage that,\u201d Adam Mosseri, the head of Instagram, said in an interview on CBS Mornings<\/em><\/a>. \u201cNo matter what topic you\u2019re going deep into, if you\u2019re going particularly deep, we let you know, and we suggest some other topics.\u201d<\/p>\n

Starting today, parents will have more power to supervise and limit their teens\u2019 time on Instagram and Meta VR headsets.<\/p>\n

Users will receive nudges no matter what topic they\u2019re scrolling through, harmful or not. \u201cThe notification shows up after scrolling on any <\/strong>topic for a number of consecutive posts,\u201d Instagram spokesperson Liza Crenshaw explained in an emailed statement to The Verge<\/em>. \u201cBut, what we include in the recommendations of what to switch to <\/strong>excludes content that may be associated with appearance comparison.\u201d<\/p>\n

Instagram is also working to bring its Take a Break feature, which encourages teens to spend time outside of Instagram<\/a>, to Reels in a more interactive way. The platform\u2019s testing reminders to turn on the Take a Break feature if a teen has been scrolling through reels for a while \u2014 the reminders will display reels from creators including @foodwithsoy<\/a>, @abraxaxs<\/a>, and @mayasideas<\/a>, suggesting they may appear in line with other reels rather than as a separate notification. It is currently testing the feature in the US, UK, Ireland, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand and plans to roll it out widely \u201clater this summer.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lastly, Instagram is making some adjustments to its existing parental controls<\/a>. The platform will now let parents send invites to their kids asking to gain access to parental supervision tools, something only teens were previously able to initiate. Parents can also see information on what types of posts or accounts their child reports, as well as gain more control over the time their teen spends on Instagram.<\/p>\n

Instagram faced intense criticism after Facebook whistleblower Frances Haugen<\/a> came forward with a set of leaked documents that have come to be known as the \u201cFacebook Papers.\u201d Leaked internal research suggests that Instagram\u2019s parent company, Facebook (now Meta), is aware of the negative impact it has on young users \u2014 especially teenage girls<\/a> who continually scroll through images of people with \u201cideal\u201d bodies. While some teens reported feeling \u201caddicted\u201d to Instagram in the internal studies, others said it exacerbated their anxiety and body image issues.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
