Instagram Unveils Exciting Features That Could Be Coming To The App Soon And Here’s What To Expect

Meta’s Instagram is hinting at a wide array of exciting features that are all set to be launched on the platform soon.

The first one is called Notes Prompts which will poke a user’s followers so they can respond to a Note hurled in their direction. The rollout is under development at the moment and we are seeing it enter testing for a wider release soon. The company’s head generated a post in this regard and how he excited he was to see it get rolled out on the broadcast channel.

This past week, the platform was busy testing the Notes Prompts feature which is a new means through which users can produce notes that ensure others do respond on time. The whole idea is linked to giving users a wonderful way to participate as they could be better offer saying things in notes that they couldn’t tell them through other means. In case you see such a feature, begin a new prompt and let them know how well it works for you.

Anyone can post their response for certain Note Prompts and even see replies from others across the board too. This is all thanks to a screengrab rolled out by Adam Mosseri yesterday.

He says simply tap on the profile image in the Instagram inbox and generate custom texts that would be seen as text bubbles on the profile image’s top section across user’s screens.

The company which is owned by Meta mentioned how they would be rolling it out first at the end of December but with time, it has become better and now, users can also add their favorite tunes to make it more innovative.

The new addition appears to be a true effort in terms of enhancing collaboration and the platform’s engagement through such means.

The app was seen in the past rolling out Collaborative Collections that enable many users to include posts and reels toward common collections. It would similarly be testing new features dubbed Collaborative Carousel that will enable users to co-create posts on this app. In the past, it rolled out new stickers that transform Stories into the likes of a template that users could use easily.

The app is also working hard in terms of streaming new features such as the ability to include reasoning on follow requests, auto-translation for captions, and any animated emojis across DMs. But there’s also another thing that the company is more focused on right now and that has to do with enabling the option of unlinking user accounts from Facebook, Instagram, Messenger, and more.

The company is also similarly working on generating the chance to include reasoning for follow-up requests. This is great for those who get boggled by unknown users but only when they learn a bit about them, they might be intrigued to know more and therefore follow them back.

The concept is unique, as one can imagine. It’s the chance to include reasoning for follow-up requests that has never been done before. So if you do tend to get creeped out by strangers, that’s no longer going to be the case with this endeavor.

We first heard about this, thanks to social media expert Alessandro Paluzzi who says through his social media post that such ordeals are really useful and they entail a wide host of features that could not be seen in the past.

Meanwhile, one alleged screengrab of what users can expect was also generated to get a better idea of what was being talked about. So options would give users the chance to select from a few choices. All you need to do is add reasons to the following request and this helps people know who you really are.


Users get the prompt where they can add a reason to the following request, in case they wish to do so so people know who you really are better as compared to deleting or never attending to the request.

For now, no details were rolled out in terms of what users can expect here in terms of choices. But it seems like custom messages would be allowed to roll out on the app. This might be in line with what Microsoft’s popular social networking app LinkedIn allows users to do where users may add customized messages to strangers for better chances of connecting with them.

But Instagram did change how users can be restricted to rolling out just a single DM request. When you talk about privacy, the app is also going to launch the chance to have user-read receipts disabled.

We’re also hearing more about the app’s collaboration with leading tech giant Samsung for more support of its Super HDR pictures.
