Instagram tests new feature called ‘Take a Break’
Photo and video-sharing social networking platform Instagram has announced that the company has started testing a new feature called ‘Take a Break’.
This feature will help users curb their Instagram addiction and encourage them to take a break after spending a certain amount of time on the app. It’s an opt-in feature, which, after being turned on, will allow users to set in-app reminders to take a break from the Instagram app after continuously using it for 10, 20, or 30 minutes.
Instagram has worked with third-party experts to develop the ‘Take a Break’ feature, and it will begin rolling out to a small percentage of users over the coming days. The company plans to launch this new feature sometime in December and if the testing goes smooth, ‘Take a Break’ will be available to all users in a month or two.
