Some of the Instagram new features include\u00a0\u201cPromote for Stories\u201d, “Instagram Analytics” and “Share IGTV Videos to Your Story”.<\/p>\n
Jane Manchun Wong, a social media\u00a0prosecutor\u00a0<\/span>shared few screenshots, presenting the upcoming features of Instagram via her official Twitter Account. Let’s take a sneak\u00a0peek on the latest features of Instagram.<\/p>\n Instagram is reportedly testing a new Profile Layout which is totally different from the existing one. As shown in the above image, you can easily find the difference between the new layout and the one which is currently available.<\/p>\n For instance, Grid, Posts, and Tagged are no longer just icons. The highlight has got its own place on the Profile Layout. On having a closer look you will also notice at the bottom right of the profile layout is going to be replaced by your current profile picture.<\/p>\n Instagram users will soon have a Countdown Sticker in the app. The sticker functions similar to an alarm app on your smartphone. The new feature will let you even name your countdown stickers, giving you full control and letting you add multiple stickers with different names.<\/span><\/p>\n However, you will be able to set the \u2018end date\/time\u2019 or even make it ‘all day’. Advertisers and Celebrities can take full advantage of this new sticker by setting an upcoming event reminder.<\/p>\n This feature benefits students to find other students of a similar field and message them directly. However, you can get connected only if the particular student and you belong to the same school\/university.<\/span><\/p>\n To take advantage of this feature you need to link your school in your bio and you are done. The School Tags in the bio include the name of the college, class year and branch.<\/span><\/p>\n All these features are currently in beta and will eventually make it to the public when it is ready. <\/span>Hope you enjoy these features once they are live. Comment your view on these latest updates.<\/p>\n As always, we\u2019ll keep you in the loop\u00a0with the latest social media and technology trends.
