| Instagram advertises notes group profiles and other sharing features |
Today, Tuesday, the photo and video-sharing service Instagram announced several updates designed to "help users connect with the people they care about."
Instagram, which is owned by Meta, said in a blog post that it has started offering feedback as a new way to share ideas and see what friends are up to.
Instagram states that notes are short messages of up to 60 characters, using only text and emojis. To leave a message, the user can go to the top of their inbox and then select someone from their subscriber list or friends list and the message will appear at the top of their inbox for 24 hours. Replies to your notes will arrive in your inbox as direct messages.
In a post today, Instagram said it's testing a new Stories feature that aims to help people share in a fun, spontaneous way that builds relationships with friends.
After launching Instagram's "Add Your Own" feature last year, which allowed users to encourage others to share their stories by inviting others to add similar photos, a refresh button can be pressed for the function that allows users to create a pass. .
Instagram said it has also begun testing a new Candid feature to allow users to film themselves and share them with others when viewing their Stories, with posts only made available to those who have read their Stories. Then stories containing posts from other people will appear in separate stories at the top of the homepage.
Instagram also said it was testing new features to give users more ways to collaborate and connect with friends in groups, adding that it would soon allow users to create and join a new type of profile to post stories and share in the community. Private profiles to share with friends.
When a member shares content on a group profile, that content is only shared with group members, not followers, and is posted to the group profile instead of the user's profile. To create a new group profile, you can do so by clicking the + button and selecting the group profile.
Finally, Instagram said it is testing a new way for users to connect with friends about common interests by saving posts to private groups or collaborative groups in private messages.
