Instagram is bringing its Sensitive Content Controls feature,  last year, to other parts of the photo- and video-sharing app, Thewebmasterstop the Meta-owned subsidiary said in a Monday. 

Sensitive Content Controls allow people to filter out material that don’t break Instagram’s rules but might be upsetting to some, such as sexual or violent imagery. This feature was previously limited to the Explore page but can now be applied to Search, Reels, Accounts You Might Follow, Hashtag Pages and In-Feed recommendations. 

Instagram didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.

Of course, telling Google not to show ads about alcohol or dating will help advertisers better target potential customers.
