Instagram is a popular photo-sharing app that’s easy to use and free. Users can use a variety of filters and editing tools to enhance their photos before uploading them to the app. In addition, Instagram offers a number of paid features that can boost your content’s visibility and reach.
Hashtags on Instagram help your photos be found by other users and can increase your engagement. They’re also a great way to get noticed by brands and other businesses.
The hashtags you use should be relevant to your content, and include words that describe what your photo is about or the type of people who would find it. You can add up to 30 hashtags per post, but you can choose how many to use.
You can also use emojis to make your posts more engaging. To use emojis, tap on the emoji icon in the top-right corner of your screen (it looks like a smiley face).
Explore on Instagram
The Explore page allows users to find new content by searching through a variety of topics. The feature also allows you to sort users by their usernames or search by a specific hashtag.
Message on Instagram
You’ll now be able to send private messages to anyone you follow on the app. You can send a direct message to someone from the home screen, or you can find the person’s profile and click the “Message” button in the top right.
Insights on Instagram
As part of its 2023 mission to create a community over the things people love, Instagram has been rolling out new updates to the platform’s Insights product. These changes will help creators track how well their content is performing on the platform, and will allow them to identify and prioritize the best ways to boost engagement.
Badges on Instagram
As of February, you’ll be able to use badges when posting live videos on the platform. The badges will display as heart(s) next to the creator’s name and can be purchased in $0.99, $1.99, and $4.99 increments.
Reels on Instagram
In addition to the live video feature, you’ll now be able to record and edit your own videos on the Instagram platform. The reels will be available on the Instagram desktop website and on mobile apps.
The company has been experimenting with video content in its feeds, but now it’s ready to take the plunge and give you a chance to show off your creativity. The company has been testing a feature that allows you to create 30-second videos and then put them in reels.
Reels are a fun, interactive way to share your content with the world and will give you the opportunity to experiment with different visual styles. The new update includes an updated timer, so you can record as long or short of a clip as you’d like.
You can even use a music clip as the soundtrack to your reels! The feature is similar to TikTok, but the length of your reels is now doubled.
