The well-known photo sharing Instagram, fresh from the start of the test to automatically convert new videos into Reels, has extended another experiment already in progress to more people, enriching it with some further improvements. In the meantime, new rumors have emerged about functions still in development and not public at Instagram which, increasingly used for work, has now become the protagonist of a special insurance.
Last April, Instagram began to test the “Templates” function that allows you to imitate the format of a Reel of your choice, without the need to follow complex online tutorials or use external realities, such as Canva. The function, which essentially only requires you to insert your clips in preset frames, with the possibility of adding your own music, was extended – last week – to more users, with development that, in the meantime, has gone on.
The user Ahmed Ghanem (known by the Twitter pseudonym of @TheSunshineDay) made it possible to ascertain some details. First of all, some users see, in the camera of the Reels, the item “Templates” which allows you to choose, in the creation of your “Roller”, among the most popular and trendy formats on the platform. Secondly, according to the same source, the platform has now started to suggest the most suitable music for the Reel according to the video itself that has been uploaded.
Moving on to the innovations in development discovered by the leaker Alessandro Paluzzi, it emerged that an enhancement of the function is being studied to block users who, at the moment, blocks only one account and the new ones that could open in the future while, in case of implementation of the change , it could block in addition the other accounts it has already created (ie acting, that is, even retrospectively).
On the subject of creating new content, Instagram is developing the “Creator Tools” function, the shortcut of which will be found between Settings and Shop. With regard to internal messaging, a non-binary chat theme could make its debut in the future: moreover, it seems that Menlo Park’s intention is to support the Stories created by our closest friends through the usual carousel of circled profiles that will be placed precisely in the DM (direct messages) section, above the chat history.
Finally, an Instagram-themed curiosity: the Israeli Notch has announced the debut, for now in the USA but in the future also in Europe, of an insurance policy for Instagram, which can be subscribed after enabling two-factor authentication, which will provide compensation daily (maximum $ 244) for each day in which it is not possible to regain access to the photographic social network, having suffered the theft of the account, or due to some malfunction, etc. The insurance, aimed at common users, VIPs and influencers (therefore also those who work with this platform), will take into account various parameters, such as the number of monthly posts, how many of these are ads, the number of followers, the involvement of themselves, in proposing the package suitable for each user, with expenses ranging from 8 euros per month, to an annual total of 500 dollars for the most popular profiles.
