Instagram May Soon Let Users Share Other User’s Profile on Their Story, According to the snapshot that Paluzzi posted, Stories will prompt users to click on the “View Profile” button to access the specified profile.
Instagram Stories debuted in 2016. The feature enabled users to post photographs and videos that will automatically disappear 24 hours after they are posted. This feature has however risen significantly in popularity since its inception and has proven a game changer for Instagram, with a daily user count of 500 million in 2019.
Now, Meta (previously Facebook’s photo and video-sharing platform) is planning to add a new feature to Stories. Instagram users may soon be able to share another user’s Instagram profile on their Stories. A well-known developer was the first to detect the anticipated feature.
X (previously Twitter) engineer Alessandro Paluzzi (@alex193a) has hinted that Instagram is developing a new feature that would let users share other users’ profiles on their Stories. It is said that the feature functions similarly to the current “Add to Story” option. Users have the option to ask their followers to visit and follow a different profile by showcasing it on their Instagram Story.
According to the snapshot that Paluzzi posted, Stories will prompt users to click on the “View Profile” button to access the specified profile. When this feature launches, it should make it easier for users to share profiles, boost the visibility of influencers’ and content creators’ accounts, and grow their following. The profile invites, like the images and videos posted in Stories, should vanish after 24 hours and not show up in the feed or on the profile grid.
Many new features have recently been added to Instagram. It brought song lyrics display feature to reels, giving users new ways to personalize reels with their favorite songs. Additionally, the platform released new Reels editing features, like as the ability to rotate and crop individual clips.
The Close Friends function, which enables users to publish posts and reels to their main feed that are only visible to those on the list, has been expanded on the Meta-owned app. For Instagram users in the European Union (EU), European Economic Area (EEA), and Switzerland, Meta presently offers a paid ad-free subscription.
