Instagram is one of the most popular and used social networks. Those days when it was only used to upload static photographs have long gone, as now it has become a place to document every fleeting moment through Stories, create short videos from its Reels section, broadcast live videos and is even a common messaging application thanks to its private messages.
But, in addition, the social network belonging to Meta constantly introduces new functionalities with which to surprise and conquer users, with the aim of improving the user experience and retaining us for as long as possible within its application. Among them, the recent incorporation of the diffusion channels that have been so successful for content creators and celebrities, allowing a very close communication channel with their followers.
In this regard, there are new features implemented by Instagram that are already fully operational, but only some users can use them at the moment, something like a trial period. This is the case, for example, of the possibility of incorporating a song in the biography. And there are also endless “secret” new features that the Meta team is working on to make a reality in the future.
Specifically, there is a user of the social network Under the alias @ alex193a, he shares with his more than 56 thousand followers leaks about what the teams on the most popular social networks are up to. We refer to his recent posts to take a look at what Instagram is preparing behind the scenes.
As Paluzzi shares, Instagram is working on a new sticker to add to Stories. This is the possibility of incorporating the link to an external application.
In addition, live broadcasts could soon incorporate the possibility of playing games, such as a trivia game or “This or that”, the option of choosing between two proposed options.
On the other hand, the Meta application works on the “Hall Passes” option. Apparently, they will consist of another section to share exclusive content with followers, very similar to broadcast channels. Only here you can publish Stories shared only with members registered for the hall pass.
Another interesting novelty is the option to add a publication only to your profile. That is, when you upload a photo, a carousel or a Reel, you can mark that it is only visible when other users access your profile, but that it is not displayed in the main feed when you access Instagram.
It should be noted that all of these are functions that the Instagram development team is currently working on. Therefore, it may happen that months pass before these see the light, that they do so with notable modifications with respect to the initial approach or that they are never launched at all. But the diehard fans of this social network follow every possible Instagram surprise in the making so closely.
