Recently, the platform has rolled out updates aimed at creators, influencers, and anyone who wants to express themselves better.
One of the notable features introduced by Instagram is Reels, a short-video app that has seen a more than 24% increase in time spent on the platform since its launch. Additionally, people have been resharing Reels more than 2 billion times every day, with overall app engagement increasing.
