6 New Features Have Arrived on Social Media Giant Instagram!

Social media giant Instagram is introducing 6 new features to enhance user experience and increase privacy options. These innovations, which concern both content creators and everyday users, allow the platform to become a more personalized and controlled space. Here are the innovations that entered our lives with Instagram's latest update:

1. Animated Emojis

Instagram DMs and stories are now moving beyond classic emojis. Thanks to the new "animated emoji" feature, you will be able to express your emotions in a more vivid and eye-catching way. This aims to create a fun and dynamic communication style, especially among young users.

2. Hide View Counts

Just like the Instagram feature of hiding like counts, you can now hide the number of views of your videos and Reels. This way, content creators will be able to share more freely and focus on interaction with followers. To do this, simply activate the Settings, hide view counts option :)

3. Hide Follower Count Feature

We can say that this is the most anticipated feature on Instagram. The follower hiding feature that many Instagram users have been waiting for is now active. So now you can hide who follows you and the accounts you follow. This feature, which is currently active in limited accounts in the testing phase, will be added to every account very soon.

4. The Advertising Period Has Started on Threads

Meta's text-focused social media platform Threads now supports advertising models. Brands will be able to interact with users more intimately and quickly via Threads. This feature seems to open the door to new strategies in the world of digital marketing. However, as you know, Threads is currently not available in our country due to the decision of the Competition Authority, but it is on the agenda that it will be activated in our country soon.

5. Converting Voice Messages to Text

Instagram has taken an important step in terms of accessibility. Thanks to the new feature, voice messages can be automatically transcribed. This provides great convenience for both hearing-impaired users and those who want to read messages in quiet environments. Moreover, it works more efficiently than WhatsApp.

6. Don't Let My Posts Appear on Google

Within the scope of the new privacy settings, it is possible to prevent your Instagram profile and posts from appearing on search engines like Google. You can reduce your digital footprint by turning off this option from the "Account > Privacy > Search Engine Visibility" section.
