Instagram Adds Four New Features Including Cyber Bullying for its 10th Birthday

Today, on the occasion of his tenth birthday, Instagram has brought a special anti-bullying feature. This feature will automatically hide reported comments in a post. This will easily avoid cyberbullying. Not only that, from now on you can shop through the IGTV section of the app - Instagram also said. According to the company, this feature will help make life easier for the common man and accelerate the growth of small businesses. The same feature will be introduced in the Instagram reel section later this year.

Instagram's anti-bullying feature is somewhat similar to Facebook's hide comment feature. The anti-bullying feature will not completely remove a reported comment but will try to hide it from other users. Next to a reported or hidden comment, there will be a 'View Hidden Comments' option, click on it and you will see the controversial or negative comment just like on Facebook. You don't have to hide any comments just like on Facebook.

In addition, Instagram said it would work on the Comment Warning feature it introduced last year. In this case, if a user repeatedly tries to post offensive comments, it will give an additional warning notification.

On the other hand, by expanding the shopping service across the IGTV section, the company said, users, will now be able to easily support the desired product and manufacturers. Shopping will also be available from the Reel Video section from the end of this year.

In addition, Instagram has started labeling state-supported media following Facebook. The labeling feature, called 'State-Controlled Media', will help users use Instagram more transparently, the company said.
