Instagram now shows you which accounts you interact with the most and least

Are you due an Instagram followers purge? The social network now lets you see which accounts you've interacted the most or least with. When you head to your "Following" list, you should see the options "Least interacted with" and "Most shown in feed." The feature makes it easier to decide if you want to cut accounts out or get updates from those you want to get more information from. 

On top of that, you can also sort your Following list from earliest to latest followed or vice versa. If you are thinking of cutting down on your Instagram following list, now is the best time to do that.

Netflix now lets you turn off autoplay previews

Perhaps you're part of the subset of users who don't like it when Netflix autoplays previews for you. Thankfully, the streaming service is finally leaving the decision in your hands. The company shared on Twitter how you can turn autoplay on or off. The setting is accessible from your browser. 

You need to sign into Netflix there and go to Manage Profiles. If you come from a household with multiple accounts, you'll have to then head to yours or to whichever account you want to update. From there, you will see the option "Autoplay previews while browsing on all devices." You just need to uncheck it; then you're done. Netflix warns that it might take some time for the update to take effect. "You can force an update by switching to another profile, then switching back in order to reload your profile with the updated setting," the company says.
