Instagram Down: Meta has yet to acknowledge the outage on Instagram, but it appears to be a technical glitch affecting users worldwide reportedly.

This new feature will attempt to address this threat by empowering users to automatically filter direct message requests that contain offensive content. Meta will use machine learning to help people protect themselves from nude photos and other unwanted messages. Meta added that the feature is still in the works and that once released, users will be able to enable and disable it as they see fit.

Instagram is getting rid of the Threads app, just like it did with the previous messaging service Direct. Sending messages and Stories to "Close Friends" will now require users to use the main Instagram app. In 2019, the Threads app was introduced as a Snapchat rival.
