Anti-bullying App

The sight of a fellow student being mocked during a school function five years ago is etched deep in Anoushka Jolly's memories. But for her, that incident became the push to start a social initiative to stop bullying.

Instagram has introduced a bunch of features to mark its tenth birthday, including anti-bullying features. Instagram has also introduced shopping from IGTV and will test the same on Reels later this year. The Facebook-owned app has recently started labelling state-backed media to increase transparency.

Distraught over repeated bullying at school, a nine-year-old girl in Shillong has developed a mobile application which would enable a person to anonymously report such incidents to the authorities.

Instagram has now extended its anti-bullying tool to hurtful captions on photos and videos. Now, if someone bullies you on an Instagram caption on your photos or videos, it will immediately be flagged with a notification.
