The head of Instagram Adam Mosseri announced that they will be introducing a ‘Take a break’ feature, which is intent on improving the user experience for the younger generation.
The feature will alert you once you’ve been scrolling through the app for a certain amount of time, and invite you to take a break from the app.
The thought process behind it is that it will hopefully give us some much needed pause on how we’re utilising our time. However, it will be up to the users to set the feature up, so it may not get as much widespread usage as we’d hope.
