Let me know what other features you'd like to see ?? pic.twitter.com/Y0QIR7PgPF
Lives on profiles
This tool will allow users to show and broadcast their future live streams. The option focuses on those who are going to do a live stream, being able to add it to their profile, in addition to the information about the scheduled live stream. When a follower visits the profile, they'll see a banner with the live video information. Tapping on it will open the live video information, as well as a reminder option for Instagram to notify you when the broadcast starts.
Remixes
Another of the aforementioned updates is remixes. In true TikTok fashion, the app is entering direct competition with the latter, as in 2021 Instagram had declared that remixes would be exclusively for Reels, unlike now, when they can be integrated into all videos on the social network.
