Instagram is testing a feature that will encourage its users to, well, stop using it.

“Take a Break” will allow the social media app’s users to get a notification after they spend a certain amount of time on the Meta Platforms Inc service. The feature is similar to Apple Inc’s Screen Time tool that tracks and can set limits on how long users spend on apps and websites.
