Edit reminders to take a break on Instagram
You can turn on reminders to take regular breaks while you are using Instagram. These break reminders will show up after you spend a certain amount of time in one session on Instagram. If you choose to turn this setting on, you can decide how often you want to see the reminder.
You may see the option to turn this setting on from your feed, but you can also access this setting from the Your activity menu.
You can dismiss the reminder by tapping Done if you want to keep using Instagram.
Ideas for your breakHere are some tips from experts for what you can do on your break:
- Take a few deep breaths
- Write down what you are thinking
- Listen to your favorite song
- Do something on your to-do list
You can also see how much time you spend on Instagram or set a daily time limit when you’ve spent a certain amount of time on Instagram throughout the day.
