Instagram is testing two new features that are designed to help users control more of what they see on the app, Meta announced on Tuesday. Firstly, the company is testing the ability for users to mark multiple posts on the Explore page with the “Not Interested” option. Meta says it will immediately hide these posts and refrain from displaying similar content in the future. Prior to this change, users only had the option to use the Not Interested feature on one post at a time.

The company will also start testing the ability for users to choose to not see suggested posts with certain words, phrases or emojis in the caption or hashtag. Instagram notes that whether you’re seeing something that’s not relevant, or have moved on from something you used to like, this new functionality can be used to stop seeing content that you don’t find interesting anymore.
