Here is what you might have missed ➡️ The newest Instagram updates that have popped up over the last few months include
👎🏽private downvotes on comments
By clicking the down arrow on someone's comment, it will indicate that you do not agree with them. This is a strictly private feature, no one other than the author of the comment will see that you downvoted it.
📍location world map
Instead of the location tag bringing you to the exact location, it now opens a world map, which shows you all location tagged posts of the people you follow. This is great for event season, reaching a more global audience, and targeting people new to your area.
🫂 blended reels
This lets Instagram curate a blended reels feed between you and a friend of your choosing. As business owners, this will be helpful to reach more like minded individuals. Focus on creating shareable reels to increase chances of appearing in both feeds.
