These new\u00a0updates\u00a0will be a game changer for many Instagram users.\u00a0 Let us take an insight on some bigger changes that are in beta.<\/p>\n<h3>Instagram Now Lets You Promote Your Stories<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to the recent report from <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Matt Navarra<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, \u00a0Instagram is testing a new Ad type called \u201cPromote\u201d for Stories, that allows business pages to splash their products to more users without doing much work. This feature allows<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Business pages to choose target audiences based on similar followers, location, or other built-in Instagram targeting parameters. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><i>An Instagram spokesperson reported that :\u00a0\u00a0<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><b><i>\u201cI can confirm that we are testing this feature globally. We don\u2019t have an immediate timeline for 100 percent rollout, but will keep you posted\u201d<\/i><\/b><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The feature \u201cPromote for Stories\u201d works similarly to Facebook\u2019s Boost option that lets users pay instantly to show their feed posts to more users.<\/p>\n<p>However, admins can choose to auto-target users, similar to their followers, people in a certain location, or use all of Instagram\u2019s targeting parameters to introduce their Story for more users as an advertisement that can also link to the business Instagram profile.<\/p>\n<p>Currently, Instagram has more than 2 million active advertisers. Moreover, the Promote feature offers an easy way to turn their existing Stories into Ads.<\/p>\n<h3>Instagram Analytics Launches in Beta<\/h3>\n<p>Apart from the promote feature, today Instagram announced that it is testing Instagram Analytics. This new tool goes beyond Instagram\u2019s existing Insights tool that just analyzed followers, website clicks, post impressions and Story exists.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With Instagram Analytics, business profiles can track the retention rates and create audience segments to see if people who commented on a particular post generate more value for them. Moreover, they can also analyze how their Instagram audience who visit their site, download their app or like their Facebook Page.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This feature benefits the businesse&#8217;s profiles to prove that their investment in the platform is paying off. Being able to see exactly how followers move through a conversion funnel will result in higher confidence in campaigns and rise your business to a new peak.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Share Your Favourite IGTV Videos to Your Story<\/h3>\n<p>Well, the updates don\u2019t end up here, Recently, IGTV added a History tab that displays recently watched videos. This could be helpful for getting back to your favorite clips or jumping to a new episode of a show you\u2019re interested in.<\/p>\n<p>In another chunk of Instagram news for the day, Instagram announced that IGTV content creators can now share a preview of their video to their Instagram Stories.\u00a0 Unfortunately, the preview isn\u2019t a video, but a static sticker.<\/p>\n<p>Nonetheless, Instagram hopes that this will help drive traffic to IGTV itself, with viewers being attracted by the static image.<\/p>\n<h4>Final Thoughts<\/h4>\n<p>All the updates are still in beta. The release date of the upcoming features is not yet declared. Hope you enjoy these features once they are live.
