Most people are probably wondering - what on earth does he mean by that? Well, the truth is, I couldn't think of a better term. Anyway, Instagram is getting rid of the "Activity of people you follow" section.

The "Activity of people you follow" feature has been around since 2011 and the controversial function is now over. This area has often caused trouble - friendships or entire relationships have been destroyed, stalking has been allowed and more. Admittedly - some people have only themselves to blame. Nevertheless, do you want everyone to see what you like? Which picture you leave a comment under? What your preferences are? Most people don't want that - personally, I don't really care. But Instagram has now heard the wishes of most users and abolished "Activity of people you follow" - reports BuzzFeed. Instagram product manager Vishal Shah has already explained the move to US media.

Completely gone by the end of the week

According to the report, many users do not even know that others can see their activities, which often leads to unpleasant surprises. Therefore, the abolition of the function is the only logical step. Incidentally, the "Activities of people you follow" section has not yet disappeared for every user.

Some may still be able to access it. According to Instagram, the feature will be completely gone from the platform by the end of the week."Threads” – the new app from Instagram. (Photo by bigtunaonline / Bigstockphoto)
