Let’s admit that Instagram is probably the best photo-sharing platform out there. It’s a photo & video sharing platform where you can share your photos and follow other users.

Since Instagram is mainly used to share photos & videos, it’s also a house of sensitive content. You can find both useful and offensive/sensitive content on Instagram’s Explore tab.

To deal with the offensive content, Instagram gives its users a tiny bit more power to see what they want and not see what they don’t want.

Recently, Facebook-owned Instagram revealed that it would allow users to block Sensitive content in the Explore tab. For that, the company has introduced a new feature known as ‘Sensitive Content Control.’ It’s a feature that will let you choose what type of posts you would like to see in the Explore section.
