Cultivating Digital Well-being: Managing Your Social Feed for Mental Health

2–3 minutes

It’s important to prioritize your mental well-being by cleansing your social feeds. Taking the time to curate the content you interact with can greatly improve your headspace. Removing negative influences and surrounding yourself with uplifting and constructive material can be a form of self-care. Sometimes, amidst the chaos of everyday life, it’s essential to carve out a digital space that promotes positivity and mental clarity. Regularly assessing and filtering the content you consume can contribute to a healthier mindset. Remember, just as you uplift others on their down days, it’s crucial to create a supportive and uplifting environment for yourself as well.

Algorithm bringing content that makes you feel low/ triggers you? you have the control to fix this is 3 simple steps.

If you see a post you’re not interested in/ triggers you on your Feed or in Reels, Explore or Search, you can choose to see fewer posts like it:

1. On the post, tap , then select Not Interested or even mute the content. You can also hide a post by tapping and holding a post in Explore, then tapping Not interested.

Similarly, seeing content you love? interact with it! like it comment an emoji, the algorithm will start to show you more.

To view your Sensitive Content Control:

  1. Go to your profile.
  2. Tap the Settings menu in the upper right corner.
  3. Tap Account.
  4. Tap Sensitive Content Control. Here you can decide whether to keep the setting at its default state (“Standard”) or to see more (“More”) or less of some types of sensitive content (“Less”).
