Meta-owned Instagram has rolled out a new update which will make it easier for the users to connect with others and explore shared interests.
Notes
The latest Instagram update brings a new feature called ‘Notes’. The feature is designed to enable Instagram users to share their thoughts using both texts and emojis. Notes are short posts of up to 60 characters using just text and emojis. To leave a note, go to the top of your inbox, select the followers you follow back or people on your Close Friends list, and your note will appear at the top of their inbox for 24 hours. Replies to notes will arrive as DMs in your inbox.
“Notes give people a casual and spontaneous way to express themselves and connect with each other,” mentions Instagram. Candid Stories
Candid, a new way for you and your friends to capture and share what you’re doing right now in a story that’s only visible to those who also share their own. Users can capture a candid from the stories camera, the multi-author story at the top of feed, or from the daily notification reminder that starts after your first candid.
Group Profiles
Instagram is also allowing users to create and join this new type of profile to share posts and stories in a dedicated, shared profile with friends. Whenever you share content to a Group Profile, that content will only be shared to group members instead of your followers, and will be posted on the Group Profile instead of your own. To create a new group profile, tap the “+” and select Group Profiles.
Collaborative Collections
Collaborative Collections enable Instagram users to connect with their friends over their shared interests by saving posts to a collaborative collection in your group or 1:1 DMs. You can start or add to a collaborative collection by saving a post directly from feed or sharing a post to a friend via DM and saving it from there.
