Instagram completed 10 years on Tuesday and it celebrated it by bringing out new features like Stories Map and two well-being updates. The Stories Map feature will display 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 new map will be private, so you won’t be able to use it to show off your travels to your followers, but it should please some longtime users who remember the original.
The wellness features include “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.
Instagram is expanding its in-app warnings that “nudge” users when they try to post a nasty comment. Instead of asking users to rethink their mean comments, the new warnings will note that Instagram may disable users’ accounts if they repeatedly break their rules. As with its prior anti-bullying updates, it won’t prevent users from posting negative comments altogether but will ask them to rethink it before they post.
