Instagram is giving users more control over their experience with 2 exciting new features!
Remember Notes, the text bubbles that debuted in late 2022 for sharing quick thoughts with your followers? Instagram is making them even more engaging. Here’s what’s new:
- Prompts to spark inspiration: Feeling stuck on what to write? No worries! Instagram will now offer prompts to get your creative juices flowing.
- Show some love with Likes: You can now like your friends’ Notes, adding a layer of interaction to the feature.
- Get mentioned: Mentions allow you to tag friends in your Notes, creating a more conversational space.
Safety and privacy are a top priority for Instagram. To empower users, they’ve introduced a new “Limit Interactions” feature. This allows you to:
- Silence the noise: Mute comments, mentions, story replies, tags, and even DMs from accounts you don’t consider close friends.
- Filter your followers: This feature works for both recent followers and those who don’t follow you back.
- Tailor the duration: Choose to limit interactions for a set time (from 24 hours to 4 weeks) or keep it on hold indefinitely.
These features offer a win-win for both creators and consumers on Instagram.
- For creators: Notes become a more dynamic space for interaction, and limiting interactions helps manage negativity or overwhelming responses.
- For consumers: Notes become a more engaging way to connect with friends, and the “Limit Interactions” feature fosters a safer and more comfortable online experience.
