We all love the Instagram social app and since it has made drastic changes in the app icon, people are totally loving the new version of it. Since, there are some bug fixes or any new feature that keeps updating, in this September edition, Instagram makers are coming up with some valuable exciting features that you will totally love, so here’s everything you need to know about the upcoming update.
In order to make the functionality of the app more simple for us, Instagram enhances features such as new stories for desktop, Instagram gallery updates, new threaded comments and much more.
1) Instagram Stories For Desktop
We all have the regular Insta story update in our smartphones and we have been enjoying this feature now. Even though the concept was taken from Snapchat, it felt as though this feature would not last too long, but to everyone’s surprise people are totally loving and because of that, Instagram is now coming up with the feature of adding stories in your desktop version as well!
2) Monitor Instagram From Facebook
This is a really cool update the developers of the app have come up with! Now you can easily monitor Instagram engagement directly from Facebook pages as well. Now, you can easily check your feed without having the need to go directly to the app, so all the comments you can now reply via multi tasking!
3) Threaded Comments
Have you ever had this problem, when you are commenting on a picture on Instagram and suddenly there is break to your conversation if someone else comments?! There is no continuity to that comment, instead it starts from the beginning as a new comment! Thanks to Instagram who are updating this feature with rolling out new threaded comments in your mobile app!
4) New Motivational Stickers #KindComments
You can now send motivational stickers to users around by spreading love and kind comments via #kindcomments and the Instagram community will give you certain murals and stickers that you can use in your photos and casually as well!
5) Control Offensive Comments On Your Post
You can now choose to report and control people who are posting any comments that are offensive. Instagram chooses to keep its platform clear and clean from these mishaps so, it extended its filter further in four more languages namely Arabic, French, German and Portuguese. You can simply ‘hide offensive comments’ in your profile settings.
6) Report Users Who Maybe In Need Of Help Anonymously
If you are watching a live story of a user, and you find something disturbing or if the person is in need then you can report to Instagram directly and they will send the user a message of support. There will be helpline numbers as well as suggestion to reach out to your friend in times of need.
