3 Major Instagram Features coming soon
1️⃣ Feeds
What does this mean to you?
You will have more control over your IG experience. You’ll have 3 feeds to choose from, which will help you determine which one you like best :
-Home: This feed is pretty much like the one you have today. Personally, I will give this one a big bye-bye. Despite people saying that the algorithm gets you and your interests, to me, it just doesn’t cut it. Just because I watched a single video of a cute baby inside a tennis basket feeding balls to his dad ti hit, doesn’t mean I want my feed, reels and anywhere I look covered with tennis!
-Favorites: This feed will be the about the lists of accounts you don‘t want to miss. You can include here your family and close friends. Aunt Gertrude adopted a new cat? Never miss it again!
- Following: Chronological feed is back! I think this will be my favorite. Apparently it’s making a big comeback. I’m excited. Nowadays, since news travel so fast, this one is perfect to be up to date on what people are posting now! I don’t want to see what someone posted 3 days ago… if they’re getting married now, I want to see it now!
2️⃣ Messaging: This upgrade will let you reply to any message on your thread, create custom reactions, and send polls in a group thread (unsure where to have dinner with a group? Send a poll! You will need to update to the latest version of IG to see these changes.
3️⃣ Subscriptions: This feature is built for creators: it’s a way to have a predictable income. Stories will go live just to your subscribers. You’ll also have an exclusive subscriber LIVE and a subscriber badge. How do you know who your subscriber is? Look out for the purple indicator or purple ring for stories. There will be the possibility to carry out these contacts to other apps and websites in the future. Exciting news!
Stay tuned for other Instagram announcements that came out of the oven yesterday.
