Instagram has launched a new feature designed to help users better manage their time on social media. The introduction of the ‘Your Activity’ dashboard follows increased pressure on technology firms to introduce tools that tackle social media addiction. The new feature includes tools to set daily limits on how much time is spent on the app, as well as the ability to silence notifications. The Facebook-owned app, which is used by around 1 billion people around the world, wants to give its users more control over how they interact with its platform. Once time limits are reached, a reminder will be sent through the app. An option to continue using the app will also be available. Other big technology firms to introduce digital wellbeing tools include Apple and Google, with both the iOS and Android mobile operating systems now including similar features to ‘Your Activity’ on Instagram. Facebook is also preparing a new 'Your Time on Facebook' feature, which will show users a bar chart of the amount of time they spend on the platform on a daily and weekly basis. The new feature on Instagram can be found within the three-line icon at the top right of the profile page.
