To prevent the spread of inaccurate information regarding the coronavirus outbreak, Instagram has introduced a few measures to help the community.
Instagram is not only adding educational messages when users search for coronavirus-related information but also launching new stickers related to preventive measures like washing hands and social distancing. In addition, COVID-19 accounts will be removed from account recommendations and contents that aren’t factually accurate will be down-ranked.
Last but not least, Instagram also introduced its Donation sticker in additional countries and added a new “Stay Home” sticker in which users who use the sticker will be included in a shared Instagram story.
