(Image: Instagram)Instagram has announced the arrival of a host of new features on its 10th anniversary. These new features include Stories Map and two well-being updates.
The new Stories Map feature creates a private map and calendar of the stories a user has shared in the last three years. With the help of this feature, the company states that a user can “look back and remember all of their favourite moments.” Users can share, download, and save these stories to their highlights.
The first well-being feature is “Hiding Potentially Offensive Comments,” which automatically hides comments similar to others that have been reported. Users can see any removed comments from their posts by tapping the “View Hidden Comments” button.
The second well-being feature is “Expanding Nudge Warnings,” which warns people when they are repeatedly trying to post comments that might be offensive. The company claims that this will make people “take a moment to step back and reflect on their words and layout the potential consequences should they proceed.”
