Meta-owned photo-sharing platform Instagram said that teenage users on the platform will start to see nudges that will encourage them to switch to a different topic if they are repeatedly looking at the same type of content on Explore.

This nudge is designed to encourage teens to discover something new and excludes certain topics that may be associated with appearance comparison, IANS reported from San Francisco.

“We designed this new feature because research suggests that nudges can be effective for helping people – especially teens – be more mindful of how they are using social media at the moment,” the company said in a blogpost.

In an external study on the effects of nudges on social media use, 58.2 percent of respondents agreed or strongly agreed that nudges made their social media experience better by helping them become more mindful of their time on the platform.

The company also mentioned that it is expanding parental supervision features on Instagram.
