Instagram has a new setting that allows users to filter content that some users may deem upsetting or playboy mansion grotto sex videooffensive.
The feature is an expansion of Instagram's "Sensitive Content Control," a product launched last fall that lets users choose how much sensitive content shows up on their Explore page. This new setting extends that control to recommended content in your feed including Reels, searches, suggested accounts, and hashtag pages.
