Both Apple and Google had lately rolled out functions in their newest OS that lets users track the time they spend employing on different apps as well as on the phone. Following this trend is Instagram that is allegedly operating on a same feature. As per a latest leak, the Facebook-controlled video and photo sharing website is going to name it as “User Insight.” This function will display its consumers that how much time they are investing on a daily basis in the app, analogous to “Take a break” reminder by YouTube.
One more interesting feature will let consumers to set a restriction to their notification and the application will not send any extra notification after that limit. This will assist consumers to lower the utilization of the Instagram application. “User Insight” feature will be connected to the profile page by including a fresh hamburger icon.
