The new 'reset' feature, which will soon be rolled out globally, was announced as the government outlined its priorities for online safety.
Instagram is releasing a feature that will let users easily reset their algorithms, as the government strengthens its regulation of online safety. With the new reset feature, users can clear their recommended content from Explore, Reels and their feed, potentially reducing the amount of harmful content they are exposed to. It's all part of Meta's push to make the app safer for young people, after announcing more private Teen accounts in September.

Ian Russell, chair of trustees at Molly Rose Foundation, said: 'This announcement outlines a much needed course correction, vital for improved online safety, and to prevent the new regulation falling badly short of expectations.
