Instagram Rolls Out Feature That Will Let Users Delete
New Delhi: Popular photo-sharing platform Instagram is rolling out a feature that would let users delete content in bulk. The feature is being rolled out with an aim to make it easier for Instagram users to erase comments, posts and other activities in a bulk. The Meta (formerly Facebook) owned company has introduced the feature under its Safer Internet Day initiatives.
"We’re rolling out ‘Your Activity,’ a new experience for people to see and manage their IG activity in one place. People can bulk manage (delete, archive) their content (posts, stories, IGTV and Reels), their interactions (comments, likes, story sticker reactions, etc.) and more.

This feature will also let users on the platform find their recently deleted or archived content, view the links they have visited and explore their search history.
"You can also use this to find content that you’ve recently deleted or archived, check out your search history, see the links you’ve visited and the amount of time you’ve spent on the platform and download your information," Instagram wrote in a blog post.
The Meta-owned company had last week introduced a new feature called "Take a Break" in India and other countries. Take a Break is essentially a feature that will show up for Instagram users, as they have been scrolling for a certain amount of time and they will be asked to take a break from the platform and suggest that they set reminders to take more breaks in the future.
Instagram's Take a Break feature was first launched in the US, the UK, Ireland, Canada, New Zealand and Australia, and it was last week made available for all users globally, including India.
