Meta, the social media giant that has been working to improve the user experience, is now introducing a new feature that will allow users to see less political content on Instagram and Threads. This comes after the company previously announced that users would soon be able to choose to see less political content on their feeds.

According to the 9To5Mac report, the company will introduce a new option to address proactively recommended political content from accounts you do not follow. This will be enabled by default, but users can choose to see more political content if they want to. It means that if the option is enabled, Instagram and Threads users will be able to see political content from the accounts they follow.
