Is this feature safe?

Instagram says that this feature is safe. It uses AI to suggest people with whom users might want to connect. Users have the option to refuse sending messages to people who do not match their interests. The feature is expected to strengthen Instagram as a social networking platform, attracting new users and retaining existing users. Also, users will get a different experience from Instagram's Message Requests feature which is not yet available on any other social media app.
