Instagram adds Repost, Map & Friends tab in latest update
In its latest move to stay ahead of the curve, Instagram has introduced three new features that are set to revolutionize the way users interact with each other on the platform. The new features include a “Repost” option, “Instagram Map”, and a new tab called “Friends” in Reels, which will enable users to reshare public reels, share their location with friends, and see the content their friends have interacted with, respectively.
The “Repost” option, as its name suggests, allows users to reshare public reels that will be recommended to their friends’ and followers’ feeds. This feature is designed to encourage users to share content that they find interesting or entertaining, thereby increasing engagement and discovery on the platform. The “Repost” option is available for both photos and videos, and users can access it by tapping the three dots on the top-right corner of the post.
The “Instagram Map” feature, on the other hand, enables users to share their location with friends. This feature is similar to the “Nearby Friends” feature that was introduced by Facebook earlier this year. With “Instagram Map”, users can choose to share their location with friends, making it easier for them to meet up or stay connected with each other. The feature is also designed to help users discover new places and events that are happening in their area.
The new “Friends” tab in Reels is another exciting feature that Instagram has introduced. This tab allows users to see the content their friends have interacted with, such as likes, comments, and shares. This feature is designed to encourage users to engage more with each other’s content, and to discover new content that their friends are enjoying. The “Friends” tab is available for both photos and videos, and users can access it by tapping the three dots on the top-right corner of the Reels screen.
According to Instagram, the new features are designed to make the platform more social and engaging. “We’re excited to introduce these new features that will make Instagram even more social and engaging,” said a spokesperson for Instagram. “We believe that these features will help users discover new content, connect with each other, and have more fun on the platform.”
The new features are now available for all users on Instagram, and can be accessed by updating the app to the latest version. With these new features, Instagram is further cementing its position as one of the most popular social media platforms in the world.
