The three novelties presented by Instagram with a post on the official blog guarantee three levels of protection for users who have to manage a rather populated community such as celebrities of various kinds or creators who, in effect, are they work and spend countless hours on it every day. The first level of protection is that of a simple warning that tries to dissuade from sending private messages (Dm) with insults or worse (threats or hateful words): a message will appear in the lower portion of the screen that will encourage you to keep Instagram a place of support and positivity. If that's not enough, two other solutions are proposed.
Tools to protect creators
The Hidden Words function launched last year will be enhanced to filter certain terms, phrases and even emojis considered harmful and offensive: it will be default for creator profiles and can also be used in Stories to act on reactions, it will also get around the trick used by many haters that replace some letters with numbers or slightly vary the spelling of the headwords. Starting from the English language, direct messages with spam and scams will also be filtered and the hope is that soon this capability will also be available for Italian as well as the blocking of unsolicited nude photos. Finally, the blocking function of an account will also be improved, with greater effectiveness also on other parallel profiles created by the same person, so as to avoid any type of unwanted contact.
