“We hope that these new features will better protect people from seeing rough content, whether it is racist, sexist, homophobic or other types of abuse,” Adam Mosseri, Head of Instagram, said in a blog post.
Instagram’s new feature will give people the ability for people to limit comments and requests for DM during increased attention surge.

Here are new features in detail.

Mosseri in a blog post said, “We develop this feature because we hear that the creator and public figures sometimes experience sudden comment nails and DM requests from people they don’t know.” Mosseri said that the creator did not want to turn off the comments and complete messages; They still want to hear from their community and build the relationship.
“The limit allows you to hear from your old followers, while limiting contacts from people who might just come to your account to target you,” explained Mosseri.
The limit will be available globally starting today for all Instagram users.
