After YouTube, Instagram will also be showing you the amount of time you spend (or waste) scrolling endlessly on the platform.
Instagram's Android app has a code buried inside for Usage Insights feature. It will show you the the time spent on the platform, TechCrunch reports.
It is not clear if it will show the total time or based on day, week or month. However, it will provide users with measurement of their time on the platform and in turn, also help the company better analyse the usage pattern to further provide a tailored experience.
The feature is currently unlaunched, however, the company has confirmed that it is indeed working on user insights.
The hidden code also reveals other upcoming features on Instagram including an Emoji Bar that lets you add most popular emoji with a single tap, and an @ button to help you tag others easily.
