Instagram introduces feature to control sensitive content in ‘Explore’ tab: Everything to know

Instagram: Photo-sharing platform Instagram will now let users decide how much sensitive content they wish to see under the ‘Explore’ tab of the app. The announcement was made by Instagram’s parent app Facebook on Tuesday. The Explore tab shows posts, videos, Reels, etc to users based on the content they have previously liked and their interests that the algorithm has picked up, also allowing them to pick the content they see from categories like food, art, travel, etc. However, now, the app is getting a new feature that Facebook is calling the Sensitive Content Control.

The feature aims to let users have the control over the type of sensitive content that they see, giving them the power to adjust whether they want to see more or less of a particular type of sensitive content which does not really break the rules of Instagram, but could be an issue for some people, like posts that are suggestively violent or sexual.
