Instagram is introducing a new feature designed to send underaged users packing when it’s time for bed.
In a blog post published Thursday, tech giant Meta, owner of the app, announced a “nighttime nudges” tool they hope will encourage youngsters to prioritize downtime over anxious-making doomscrolling.
The prompt will be triggered after detecting use of interactive tools like direct messages and Reels for longer than 10 minutes late at night.
“Time for a break?” reads a mock-up of the alert. “It’s getting late. Consider closing Instagram for the night.”
Meta said that it’s introducing the new feature because “sleep is important, particularly for young people.”

The killing of Iran’s tyrannical Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei on Saturday in an unprecedented joint military attack by the US and Israel called Operation Epic Fury set off widespread celebrations from Iranians around the world — as President Trump said it would give them their “greatest chance” to “take back the country.” Meanwhile, in Iran, a lack of internet has made it impossible for Iranians to easily communicate daily conditions. Over a period of three days, with limited VPN connection, an eyewitness currently in Tehran — who, for her safety, is concealing her identity — shared her account of life under a country in the midst of battle with The Post’s Natasha Pearlman.
