How does this feature work?

These screenshots show that the feature offers four different options for Instagram. Users can choose between these four options unless Instagram decides to change them when they become available to everyone.

The options currently visible are: However, it is important to note that not all features that Instagram is testing in its beta version will make it to the stable version available to all users. At the same time, other functions will undergo several changes before the stable version, and it will work completely differently than it originally did in the beta version.

The report also did not confirm when exactly the ability to control who sees your likes in your posts and feeds will be available to all users. However, the report confirms that Instagram is already working on a feature that could benefit many users.

How will WhatsApp users soon be able to connect to Instagram? 

Meta is reportedly developing a new feature for its instant messaging service, WhatsApp. This feature allows Android users to share their WhatsApp status updates on Instagram. Another Meta-owned social media platform, Facebook, is also connected to its instant messaging service, Messenger. This feature is expected to be available in the upcoming WhatsApp update for Android.

The ability to share shorts on Instagram as notes has been extended by Instagram. The new upgrade allows users to send two-second video notes that play backward on repeat. Previously, Instagram's status message function could only contain text up to 60 characters. With this function, users can also add text captions to their movies.

Meta has also included new methods for responding to notes. You may now reply to a letter using GIFs, stickers, videos, voice messages, and images. But the original poster will receive the response as a chat message.
