What you need to know
- Instagram is seemingly working on a toggle to "limit sensitive content."
- The news comes courtesy of Jane Manchun Wong, known for her reverse-engineering wizardry.
- The feature will likely be aimed at younger voters or those who want to limit NSFW content at work.
In an ideal world, no one would be browsing Instagram at work, and we'd all be the efficient, busy worker bees the corporate overlords expect us to be. But since that's likely not happening anytime soon, your coworkers should, at the very least, not have to be exposed to an endless barrage of buttocks every time they pass by your desk. Thankfully, Instagram is working on a feature to help with that.
As reverse-engineering wizard Jane Manchun Wong recently discovered, the Facebook-owned social media app is currently in the process of implementing a "limit sensitive content" toggle. It's unclear at the moment what Instagram would classify as "sensitive content," but one would assume that a wide array of NSFW and mature content would fit the bill.
Instagram is working on "Limit Sensitive Content" option

When Jane came across it, the feature was enabled by default, but of course, given its work-in-progress state, it's entirely possible that may not be true when it finally rolls out. Or, perhaps, it may only be turned on by default for younger users of the app, which recently also had to shore up its policies regarding underage users.
Turning the toggle off will open up a new prompt that will ask you to explicitly confirm that you do, indeed, want to see potentially sensitive content. The "Learn more" link doesn't work at the moment, likely because the feature is still early in its development.

Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 Plus hands on: Unfulfilled potential
Samsung refuses to lets its dream of Android tablets die, and the latest example of this is the Galaxy Tab S7+. It's an incredibly well-built gadget with premium specs galore, but is it enough to overcome the state of Android on a tablet in 2020?
Did you pre-order the Galaxy Note 20 Ultra?
The Galaxy Note 20 Ultra is a seriously impressive device, and as of right now, pre-orders are open. Have you splurged for the phone yet?
If you're a true Note fan, the Note 20 Ultra is the only phone to get
The little differences may seem superfluous to the general smartphone buyer, but they mean a lot to someone who's historically been attracted to the Galaxy Note. Samsung itself reiterates constantly that the Note line is for the "power users" and the "Galaxy fans" — the Galaxy Note 20 Ultra is the only model that still embodies that mindset.
