While Facebook has been adding various new features to Instagram, the photo-sharing platform has been criticized for adversely affecting the mental health of teenagers. So, to prevent young minds from engaging with harmful content on Instagram, Facebook has confirmed to add a new “Take a Break” feature to Instagram soon.
“We’re going to introduce something which I think will make a considerable difference, which is where our systems see that a teenager is looking at the same content over and over again, and it’s content which may not be conducive to their well being, we will nudge them to look at other content,” Clegg said during the interview. He also added that Facebook has paused its operation on Instagram Kids following recent developments.
