Photo sharing app Instagram rolls out a dashboard that lets you set daily time limits for using the app, and an option to temporarily mute push notifications.
The feature lies inside the hamburger icon on the upper right corner of your profile page, and includes tools for setting daily time limits and the option to temporarily mute push notifications.
The step was taken keeping in mind what tech giants Apple and Google came up with earlier this year. Cupertino-based tech giant Apple unveiled a feature called 'Screen Time' on iOS. Google also released a 'Digital Wellness' dashboard with Android 9.0.
On Instagram, you can set a daily time limit for the app; and if you cross it, the app will alert you with a notification. The hard part is acknowledging the alert, and actually closing the app and going outside for a change.
The dashboard also has a feature that lets you choose which notifications you want to receive, and also lets you mute push notifications.

The feature is expected to be available for all Instagram users soon.

The lens can copy any text from the real world into your phone. This is something Google has demonstrated before, but now it sounds like the feature is ready and actually coming to Google Lens. You’ll be able to point your phone’s camera at text in the real world — say, a written down Wi-Fi password — grab that text, and then paste it into a text field on your smartphone. And now it’s also going to help you buy fashionable things. Google Lens still isn’t perfect at identifying precise items of clothing, but Google thinks it can get close enough. The company is introducing a new “style match” feature that will scan something the camera is pointed at and help you buy it from internet retailers. Sounds like a dream come true for Pinterest fans. But will Amazon be among those stores?

Google’s news app is being overhauled and the editorial focus is now powered largely by AI. The company says “it uses artificial intelligence to analyze all the content published to the web at any moment, and organize all of those articles, videos, and more into storylines. It spots the ones you might be interested in and puts them in your briefing.” News will also deliver “a range of perspectives” to bring you a little bit outside your bubble.
