Instagram adds 3 important news

The guys from Instagram are making changes to the app to improve the service experience. It is clear that this company that is owned by Facebook needs new tools and controls to make users feel more secure. It is always good news when we know that an app has stopped to improve security, and make its users use it more calmly. Today Instagram is the great protagonist of this Wednesday.

Instagram strengthens the security of your application

Now you can disable comments

Among the most important changes that we find on Instagram, is that the comments can be disabled. This feature is not entirely new in other apps, but Instagram has recognized that it is totally necessary, because comments do not always have to be activated.

You will be able to disable Instagram comments in the coming weeks. For now it has been in testing on some accounts, but in a few weeks it will be available worldwide. You will find the functionality in the Advanced Settings of Instagram. They can be re- enabled from the button on each photo.

Remove followers from private accounts

The second characteristic is that now you are going to be able to eliminate the followers of a private account. Private accounts restrict other users until the owner approves the request. But until now, if you didn't want a particular person to see your things… you had to block them. Now you can simply remove those people without them knowing.

Report injury from friends

Third and last, we will be able to report anonymously any “suspicion of self-harm”. Users will be able to anonymously report any fear that their friends will injure themselves. The company is going to take it very seriously, 7 days a week and 24 hours a day.

Instagram with this, seeks to improve the security of the application. We will see these changes in the coming weeks.
