Instagram’s New Feature Will Help You Make Friends Based On Your Preference
Instagram is working on a new and exciting feature called ‘Pix,’ which claims to make the user experience even more enjoyable. The platform is already packed with a lot of great features, and this new feature has added even more excitement after the company’s recent updates.
Tech News: Instagram New Tool Update:Social media platform Instagram is constantly introducing new features to improve the experience of its users. Now the company is working on another interesting feature, 'Pix,' which is currently being developed as an internal prototype. This feature will give users the option to choose their favorite movies, books, TV shows, games, and music, which will allow them to connect with friends based on their preferences.
Purpose of the 'Pictures' feature
According to the report, the Instagram Pics feature aims to create more personal and interactive connections between users. It was first discovered by reverse engineer Alessandro Pluzzi. Instagram has also confirmed the existence of the feature, although it is not yet available for external testing.
Relationship of personal interaction
Through the Picks feature, Instagram will be able to identify friends who have similar interests. Users will select content they like, and the platform will show overlaps based on these likes. The company believes that this feature will further strengthen personal conversations on the platform.
Similar features to other platforms
Instagram has often been known for adopting features from other social media platforms. Recently, the company introduced several new tools, including Instagram Map, which works similarly to Snapchat’s Snap Map. It has also added a Repost option, much like Twitter’s former Retweet feature. Another addition is the new Friends Tab, where users can see public reels liked, commented on, or reposted by their friends. These updates aim to boost user engagement and interaction on the platform.
New rules for live streams
Instagram has also made a big change to its live streaming feature. Now users must have at least 1,000 followers to go live. The update comes shortly after the launch of new messaging and blocking features in India. If your follower count is less than 1,000, you won't be able to go live, but you can connect with your fans through video calls.
Impact on small creators
This new rule could be a challenge for smaller creators, as it will now be difficult for them to reach new followers and viewers through live streaming. Instagram did not clearly explain the reason for this change, but it is being speculated that it may have been done with the aim of conserving resources and reducing the cost of live streams with a small audience.
