The social media platform Instagram has gained many new features in the past weeks. The platform, which improves the messaging experience and offers story liking and chronological ordering features, has come to the fore with new features it will bring today.
Alessandro Paluzzi, who is famous for his previous posts about Instagram, shared that three new features will come to Instagram in the new information he leaked this time. It has been shared that these features, which are still in the testing phase, are the redesign of the buttons in the profile, double tap to like the story, and include multiple links in the bio.
Stories can be liked by double tapping:
Paluzzi demonstrated the double tap liking feature with a video. With this feature, you will now be able to like the stories you want to like without moving your finger to the bottom right of the screen. On the other hand, it can be said that the feature will have a disadvantage such as accidentally liking the story. Instagram also offers the double-tap like feature on standard posts and many users complain about this feature, the same feature will come to stories, which will cause even more users to complain about it…
The buttons in the profile are rearranged :
keys such as ‘Edit profile’ that appear on our Instagram profile will be rearranged according to newly revealed information. The keys, which will also be shaped according to the operating system of your phone, will offer more options to the user.
More links can be added to the profile:
It seems that the feature that many Instagram users want today is finally coming. Users will now be able to post multiple links directly on Instagram instead of services like Linktree. It is not yet known when all these features will be released or whether they will be released.
Other new features coming to Instagram are as follows:
Instagram’s new feature will look like this
allowed them to be placed in order. However, this seems to change from now on. Because, thanks to the new feature, even the first post uploaded to Instagram can be placed among the most up-to-date posts. In this way, users will be able to keep their favorite posts at the top. Content producers will also have the opportunity to have more control over the posts they share with the most likes or sponsorships.
Instagram has not made any statement about the new feature it is developing. In addition, this feature has not been seen in the testing phase for now. Therefore, we may have to wait a little longer for this important feature. The leaked screenshots have only provided us with information for now.
The “status” feature that stays in the profile for 24 hours can also be used by some users
Some Instagram users have been able to use a feature called “Set Status” for a while. This feature allows you to set a status for your profile and this status will stay on your profile for 24 hours. You can choose automatically selectable statuses such as “Working”, “Celebrating”, “Happy” or “Busy”, or you can write a suitable status for yourself in the “Write a status…” section, and use an emoji to match the status. You can create your status. Statuses can also be seen by followers on the profile photo in the stories or on the profile page.
As you know, there is currently a home page flow on Instagram, as well as ‘Discover’ ‘Reels’ and ‘Store’ tabs. However, with the new innovations, two more ‘tabs’ are added to the homepage flow that we are used to using. While the bottom part of the application’s interface with tabs such as Reels and Discover remains the same, a new menu welcomes us in the upper left corner of the screen.
In this menu, besides the standard home page, two new tabs, ‘Favorites’ and ‘Following’, appear. What we’ll see in each of these tabs also varies. While the main page continues to present content based on the Instagram algorithm as it is now, the other two tabs allow us to see what we kind of ‘want’.
- The ‘Favorites’ feature is an innovation that consists of posts from accounts we ‘favorite’ and includes a system similar to the ‘Close friends’ feature in a way. In this section, you will see only the contents of the audience you choose, which you want to see constantly.
- In the ‘Following’ section, the long-awaited chronological content flow welcomes us. This tab only presents the contents of all the accounts you follow, in chronological order, without any suggestions.
The features that are currently in the testing phase are expected to appear in front of users soon. It is a matter of curiosity how this new system, which seems to change the Instagam experience, will be met.
