Instagram may be blocking screenshots?
Temporary messages may get some extra privacy protections thanks to a new update that would prevent screenshots from being taken.
Instagram metrics update alert! Views are the new priority!
Instagram announced that views will be the primary focus instead of likes and followers. Time to make some Reels?
Instagram may introduce a new rectangular grid layout
Do you see this test on your profile? Instagram is currently displaying content in a rectangular layout instead of a square layout in some users' grids. It's just a test . . . for now, anyway!
Instagram profile cards are in testing, too!
Some creators have access to Instagram profile cards. This feature displays a QR code for easy follows. It then flips over to display the creator's name, profile picture, and about section.
Instagram may let you tag broadcast channels in your post
This feature is currently in testing. It would allow you to tag a broadcast channel in a feed post. We could see this feature being an awesome way to promote your exclusive community!
Instagram gets musical!
