Instagram began testing a Take a Break feature this week, enabling users to receive in-application break reminders after the specific period of time they set.

Head of Instagram Adam Mosseri said in an Instagram post, “When you receive a break reminder, we’ll suggest that you close Instagram and provide expert-backed tips on what you can do during the break … I’m excited to dig into the results and hopefully launch this sometime in December.”
