Infinite Scroll

Instagram

Instagram recently implemented a new feature that informs the user when they have seen all new content. This feature although beneficial, as it helps to inform the user, still encourages infinite scrolling as it then provides them with an endless stream of suggested content. This message should be adapted so that the user must interact with it and make a conscious decision.

Facebook

Facebook should implement a message that appears when the user has caught up on all new content on their news feed. A user can then choose to leave the application or continue. This would help to make users aware as to when they have seen all new content and would encourage them to exit the application therefore helping with procrastination and mental health.

This feature would break up the stream of endless content and would encourage the user to leave the application, creating a more conscious user.
