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.
