🏆 Instagram has rolled out NEW features that are so necessary to pay attention to! Remember, social media platforms make updates for the user for a REASON.
- New fonts & effects on stories shows that Instagram is pushing creativity. Instagram wants you to use the story feature but it also wants you to be creative in creating that, but, it wants you to do that ON THE PLATFORM. (That's a theme 😉)
- Ability to edit photo posts directly in app: We've always been able to add a filter on IG, but now you are able to layer another photo directly in the app. Normally you would have to use Canva or Capcut or another platform to do this. This is another clue that Instagram is encouraging you to use its platform for everything.
- Ability to add up to 20 slides to a post rather than 10! CAROUSEL POSTS ARE KILLING IT and this is just another confirmation of that. Start making them, NOW!
-BONUS insight: Instagram is testing a vertical feed rather than a square feed. This is showing Instagram may be seeing it's future as video... Thoughts?
If you aren't sure how to utilize these features for your business, let us know and we'll respond with specific ideas for you! And remember... Instagram and Facebook are owned by the same company. Food for thought!
