Meta: Instagram is bringing cool features, safety of teenagers will be strengthened, currently testing is going on

Instagram is becoming a very popular social media network very quickly. This platform frequently releases new updates to give its users better features. Instagram will launch a new feature shortly in such a scenario. A blur message feature is being developed by Instagram. Teens will be protected by this feature from scammers and nudity. Instagram stated on Thursday that this feature will aid in removing harmful content from the app after it is introduced.

In America and Europe, claims regarding Instagram's negative impact on teenagers' mental health are common. Additionally, there have been claims that this app leads to addiction. Direct messages on Instagram will be more convenient with this feature, according to Instagram's parent company Meta. According to Meta, the machine learning device will determine whether or not photos are being used to promote nudity. For users who are younger than 18, Meta will activate this feature automatically. Additionally, it will motivate adults to activate this feature.

Meta has said that under this feature, the device learning machine will automatically assess the photo whether there is any kind of nudity in it. In such a situation, the device will not have access to the photo until the user reports that photo. The company said that as of now there is no direct encryption facility available on Meta Messenger and WhatsApp app. However, work is going on to roll it out soon.

Along with this, Meta said that it is preparing such technology which will identify those accounts which are found to be linked to obscene scams. In January this year, Meta said that it was trying to remove such content from its platform that provides information to teenagers about suicide, self-harm and binge eating disorders.
