The Sensitive Content Control has only two options for teens: “Standard” and “Less.” New teens on Instagram under 16 years old will be defaulted into the “Less” state. For teens already on Instagram, we will send a prompt encouraging them to select the “Less” experience.
This will make it more difficult for young people to come across potentially sensitive content or accounts in Search, Explore, Hashtag Pages, Reels, Feed Recommendations and Suggested Accounts.
In addition, we are testing a new way to encourage teens to update their safety and privacy settings. We’ll show prompts asking teens to review their settings including: controlling who can reshare their content, who can message and contact them, what content they can see and how they can manage their time spent on Instagram.
These updates are some of the ways we are working to protect teens on Instagram.

We’re continuously developing controls to help people personalize their experience on Instagram. Last summer, we launched the Sensitive Content Control so people could choose how much or how little sensitive content to see in Explore from accounts they don’t follow. Today, we’re announcing updates to this control.
Starting today, the Sensitive Content Control will cover all surfaces where we make recommendations. In addition to Explore, you will now be able to control the amount of sensitive content and accounts you see in Search, Reels, Accounts You Might Follow, Hashtag Pages and In-Feed Recommendations. With this update, we’re also applying the technology we use to enforce our Recommendation Guidelines to Instagram's recommendations on Search and Hashtag pages. This update will be available to everyone in the coming weeks.
The Sensitive Content Control has three options, which we’ve renamed from when we first introduced the control to help explain what each option does.
The three options are: “More”, “Standard” and “Less”.
“Standard” is the default state, and will prevent people from seeing some sensitive content and accounts. “More” enables people to see more sensitive content and accounts, whereas “Less” means they see less of this content than the default state. For people under the age of 18, the “More” option is unavailable.
To view your Sensitive Content Control:
Go to your profile.
Tap the Settings menu in the upper right corner.
Tap Account.
Tap Sensitive Content Control. Here you can decide whether to keep the setting at its default state (“Standard”) or to see more (“More”) or less of some types of sensitive content (“Less”). You can change your selection at any time.
There are additional tools we offer that can help you shape your Instagram experience, including Comment Control, Restrict, Block and Mute. Our hope is to provide more tools over time and make Instagram work better for you.

How to filter sensitive content on Instagram
Instagram has a new setting that allows users to filter content that some users may deem upsetting or offensive.
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.
SEE ALSO: Instagram seems to have completely stopped caring about its users
The help center page says Sensitive Content Control "applies to some content that goes against [Instagram's] Recommendation Guidelines, but does not apply to content that goes against [Instagram's] Community Guidelines." In other words, sensitive content doesn't violate the rules, but it might be considered offensive or triggering to some. That might include:
Content that may depict violence, such as people fighting. (We remove graphically violent content.)
Content that may be sexually explicit or suggestive, such as pictures of people in see-through clothing. (We remove content that contains adult nudity or sexual activity.)
Content that promotes the use of certain regulated products, such as tobacco or vaping products, adult products and services, or pharmaceutical drugs. (We remove content that attempts to sell or trade most regulated goods.
)
Content that may promote or depict cosmetic procedures.
Content that may be attempting to sell products or services based on health-related claims, such as promoting a supplement to help a person lose weight.
The new setting gives you the option of choosing "More," "Less," or "Standard," which is the default for users. Each option corresponds to how much sensitive content you want to be filtered out. To access this setting follow the steps below.
1.
Open Instagram and go to your profile page by tapping your picture at the bottom of the screen. On your profile page, open your account settings by tapping the icon of the three horizontal lines at the top-right2. Next, tap "

What happens if I post sensitive media without changing my settings?

Twitter may also use automated methods to identify and flag sensitive media and accounts that frequently tweet sensitive media. nine0003
What happens if my profile picture violates Twitter policies?
If your profile or header image violates Twitter policies, we may temporarily suspend your account and remove the content. Repeated violations will result in your account being suspended without the possibility of renewal.
In addition, your account may be suspended if your profile contains media that violates Twitter policies. To unlock your account, you must follow the instructions and remove the media that violates Twitter's policies. If your account has been banned, see this article for more information. nine0003

According to the company, although Instagram* has long blocked content that incites hatred or posts that initiate and support cyberbullying, there are still gray areas - some content may seem quite acceptable to some users and inappropriate to others. nine0003 For those who do not want to see posts with sexual overtones or scenes of violence, there is now the possibility of several stages of filtering such materials. To select the appropriate options, you need to go to the "Settings" menu, go to the "Account" section and go to the "Filter of potentially inappropriate content" - from "Allow" to "Restrict" and "Restrict more content". It is worth noting that the “Allow” option can only be selected by those who are already 18 years old. instagram*.com According to Instagram*, "if you have allowed potentially inappropriate content, you may see more photos and videos in the Explore section that you may find unpleasant" .
