Instagram introduces a new wave of functions that are designed to improve sharing and connection on the app-included a long-awaited repost function, a live location card and a renewed reel interface.
Announced by parent company Meta On 6 August, the update brings three important tools: a profile tab for re -placed content, optional location -parts via an interactive map and a new tab “Friends” in Haspels to work on the surface.
“People have always come to Instagram to share what they are planning and where they are,” Meta said in a press release. “Now, with reposts, the card and the ‘Friends’ tab in Haspels, it is easier for you and your friends to keep in touch through the content you like on Instagram.”
Reposting brings parts to Instagram
With the new repeating function, users can share public feed messages and rolls from other accounts directly to their own followers. Reposts are displayed in the feeds of followers and appear on a separate tab “Reposts” added to user profiles.
While the original makers retain credit, Meta says that the content makers function offers the opportunity to broaden their reach.
Share location with Instagram -card
The new Instagram card rolls out in the US and gives users the option to share their latest active location with chosen contacts. According to Meta, users can explore content on location – such as concert clips, restaurant posts or travel height points – and the sharing of location at any time occasionally.
Parents who use Instagram’s supervisory tools will receive reports when their teenager starts sharing their location and can manage who has access.
“You can decide whether your teenager has access to sharing locations on the map and see with whom your teenager shares his location,” Meta added.
‘Friends’ tab added to Haspels
A new “Friends” tab is also coming to Instagram Reels and offers users a feed of public content that their friends liked or commented on, together with suggestions from “blends” – personalized content groups.
Users can choose to hide their interactions so that they do not appear on the tabs of others and can dampen the activity of specific users.
The update follows various recent changes aimed at user safety, including new restrictions on direct messages to teenagers and content checks for accounts run by adults with children.
Instagram also introduced a summer profile option in June, so that users can rearrange grid photos and videos.
With the latest additions, Instagram wants to share socially more dynamic, location warner and more personal-while he continues to develop the options for safety and control.
