Instagram’s ‘limits’ adds a mute button for everyone other than close friends


It will hide messages, comments, tags, and mentions.

Even though Instagram first rolled out limits to help creators deal with harassment campaigns, anyone can use the feature if they’re facing unwanted messages and comments from bullies and other bad actors. Instagram is also building on its restrict feature, which now lets you prevent a user from tagging or mentioning you in addition to hiding their comments. Earlier this year, Meta rolled out a new feature that prevents adults from messaging minors on Instagram and Facebook by default.
