Candid Stories
Instagram has announced that it is currently testing a new feature called Candid Stories. It will notify users to take a picture of what they are doing at the moment. As per the blogpost, they will only be visible to those who also share their own Candid Stories. “For those who don’t want to receive the daily notification reminder, you can always turn it off in your Settings,” said Instagram in a blogpost. These Stories will also roll out for Facebook soon.
Group Profiles
Group Profiles is a new type of profile where participants can share posts and stories in a dedicated, shared profile with friends. To create Group Profiles, you can simply tap on the Plus icon and select Group Profiles.
Collaborative Collections
Instagram is also testing the Collaborative Collections feature that will allow users to connect with their friends “over their shared interests by saving posts to a collaborative collection in your group or 1:1 DMs”. Users can simply start or add to a collaborative collection by saving a post from feed or sharing post with a friend via DM and then saving it from there.
