Instagram Limits Users' Ability to Limit How Much Time They Spend in the App

Fun fact: It is possible to set an even lower daily time limit by uninstalling Instagram

But you need Instagram to DM people tho.

For me, the most effective way of limiting IG and TikTok usage is by pruning and unfollowing most people as I go through my feed. When you don't have much to scroll through, you will have a natural nudge at the bottom to quit it.

If you are spending 3 hours a day in Instagram then you need to step back and look at where your life went wrong.

that’s what my youngest brother just did, he used instagram as a way to text to my cousins or same age and suddenly he got sick of instagram and deleted his account , I have never been into social media like facebook, myspace etc hell i got rid of twitter too

Do people expect Hostess to limit how many Twinkies you can buy? I have never had an instagram account, but I still understand the concept of self-control. It's time for people to take responsibility for making good decisions and stop thinking it's always someone else's job to make sure their life choices are healthy.

Haha. Agreed!

Makes me think: these apps are about group thinking, mass following, euphoria and trending.
A way to still help steer the healthy choice for them would be to start a viral campaign about how deleting their Instagram and TikTok accounts is the new hip and cool… bunch of people nuking their profiles.

I bet that the companies would put their hands on that to filter it out and force correct course though.
