Instagram Users will now get more control over the sensitive content

Instagram, a Meta-owned photo-sharing platform, is expanding its Sensitive Content Control Feature, allowing users to control the amount of sensitive content and accounts they see on the platform. According to the platform, Sensitive Content Control will apply to all surfaces where we make recommendations.

"In addition to Explore, you will now be able to control the amount of sensitive content and accounts you see in Search, Reels, Accounts You Might Follow, Hashtag Pages, and In-Feed Recommendations," the photo-sharing platform said in a blogpost.

The company further stated, "With this update, we are also applying the technology we use to enforce our Recommendation Guidelines to Instagram's recommendations on Search and Hashtag pages."

The Sensitive Content Control has three options, which the company has renamed from when the control was first introduced to help explain what each option does. There are three options: "More," "Standard," and "Less."

"Standard" is the default setting, which prevents users from viewing sensitive content and accounts.

"More" allows users to see more sensitive content and accounts, whereas "Less" allows them to see less of this content than in the default state. The "More" option is not available to those under the age of 18.
