Instagram: New function filters messages

The new tool filters direct messages from non-subscribers for inappropriate or abusive content. A predefined list of offensive words and emojis can be individually extended in the app. If the function is activated, the text of the message request is compared with the terms on the list. If there is a match, the message is hidden and filed in a separate folder.
