the new<br />
instagram<br />
update.<br />
(that you might have missed)<br />
It’s <strong>final</strong>ly happened, marketers: We’ve had a month<br />
with no new major features rolling out on a wide-scale<br />
basis on Instagram. The wait is over! Instagram is recently<br />
updating its platform and we have put for you<br />
the several new features and changes that you might<br />
follower sorting.<br />
Instagram’s testing out a new filter option in<br />
your ‘Followers’ and ‘Following’ lists which<br />
would enable you to sort the listing by most<br />
recent additions, or the opposite.<br />
The capacity could make it easier to locate<br />
your most long-serving brand supporters,<br />
which may provide new opportunities for connection.<br />
It would also make it easier to engage<br />
with your most recent additions, and track locations<br />
and details, which you could correlate<br />
with campaigns.<br />
How to: if they’ve already left a mean comment,<br />
swipe left on it and select the ‘!’ icon,<br />
then select “restrict [username]”. Alternatively,<br />
you can go to your profile, hit the hamburganti<br />
bullying tool.<br />
Instagram has just introduced a new feature<br />
called ‘Restrict’ that allows users to block interactions<br />
from users that are likely to spread<br />
hate, bully, or are unwanted for any other reason.<br />
This is different from blocking someone because<br />
they won’t know that they are blocked.<br />
They can still leave their hate-filled comments<br />
on your account, but no one will be able to see<br />
it but them.<br />
The account owner will be able to reveal the<br />
comment if they are interested, otherwise “restricted<br />
comment” will be in its place and you<br />
can move on without being affected by that<br />
person’s negativity!<br />
create mode.<br />
As detailed by TechCrunch, there’s a new<br />
“Create” mode for Instagram Stories that essentially<br />
turns “Throwback Thursday” into an<br />
official feature, as well as much more. With the<br />
new Create mode, there’s an “On This Day”<br />
button that generates a post from that specific<br />
day in a previous year. It can also randomly<br />
move between different posts from different<br />
years:<br />
For now, the highlight of Create is the “On This<br />
Day” option that shows a random feed post<br />
you shared on the same calendar date in the<br />
dark mode.<br />
If you woke up today with a completely dark Instagram<br />
– you’re part of their latest beta test!<br />
Users with operating systems iOS 13 and Android<br />
10 will be experiencing a darker version of<br />
our most-loved social media app.<br />
However some people are freaking out because<br />
it’s not entirely clear how to switch to and from<br />
the Instagram we’re used to, and the new,<br />
grungier, dark version.<br />
As mentioned, this is only available to users<br />
with specific operating systems, but if you have<br />
that, here’s how to enable/disable dark mode:<br />
iPhone How to: Navigate to your phone Settings,<br />
select Display and Brightness, Toggle the<br />
Dark option.<br />
Android How to: Navigate to your phone Settings,<br />
select Display, select Theme, turn on<br />
Dark Theme.
