After giving its users power to restrict bullies on its platform, Facebook-owned instagram has now extended its anti-bullying tool to hurtful captions on photos and videos. Now, if someone bullies you on an instagram caption on your photos or videos, it will immediately be flagged with a notification: "This caption looks similar to others that have been reported".
The user will be given the option to revise the message or share it anyway, reports inews.co.uk. The "Caption Warning" feature is yet another step to prevent cyberbullying on Instagram.Instagram in october rolled out "Restrict" feature globally that lets users stop people who bully them via offensive posts or abusive comments.
You can restrict someone by swiping left on a comment, through the Privacy tab in Settings, or directly on the profile of the account you intend to restrict."Once Restrict is enabled, comments on your posts from a person you have restricted will only be visible to that person," said the company. You can choose to view the comment by tapping "See Comment"; approve the comment so everyone can see it, delete it or ignore it.
