Instagram is one of the largest social media platforms on the internet. It used to be a space for a variety of influencers, creators and advertisers, all having their own shared spaces. Now, when you’re busy thinking about new places to explore and post on Instagram there is something going on with Instagram behind the curtains. This online media sharing app is a huge revenue-generating platform for its parent company Facebook.
Explore category of Instagram shows the accounts with organic reach and which Instagram feels related to users’ interests. Now according to a recent development, ads will be shown on Instagram Explore page which 50% of users access at least once in a month.
When a user clicks on a picture or a video in Explore, they might experience ads the same as in the main feed. Instagram still enables users with more control over the ads they want to see and can easily take actions against the ads they don’t want it their feeds.
The core purpose of the team of Instagram is launching ads in Explore is to make this platform the best place for users to discover new trends and businesses who might be interesting for customers.
In January NYT revealed that Facebook wants to enable users to easily chat and pass messages from Instagram to WhatsApp and Facebook seamlessly. All conversations sent between these social apps will remain encrypted so that only the sender and recipient can see them. Now users will be seeing the new names in Google Play Store and Apple’s App Store as well. This new step to change the name of these apps is to clear out the connectivity of Facebook with its products and services.
