The new Playback feature of Instagram allows users to relive their Stories from 2021. As part of this feature, Instagram will share a curated Playback of 10 Stories for each user.
The photo-sharing app is also allowing users to edit, add or remove the Stories from their Playback list via their Stories archive. The Stories archive will pop-up within their Playback list.
The second feature introduced by Instagram is called — Reel Visual Replies. This feature enables creators to take a comment and include it in a 60-second Reel. Creators can find the option near the reply icon.
Lastly, the Profile Embed feature offers the ability to embed an entire profile everywhere, thus offering a snapshot to their Instagram world. The above mentioned two features are available in all the regions, but this third feature is available only in the US.
Recently, Instagram launched a new feature called ‘Take a Break’. As the name implies, the feature is set to make the user take a break from the app and also help them set reminders to prevent excessive usage of the app. There will also be expert-backed tips to help the teenagers “reflect and reset.”
The move has come just before the testimony of Instagram head Adam Mosseri this week about the danger kids are facing online and how to protect them. Instagram also plans to roll out a new tool for parents and guardians to monitor the amount of time being spent by their kids and wards on the app and set limits for them. The feature is set to come out in March.
