Today, Instagram remains among the most sought platforms in this social media realm. To smoothen the competition it has from TikTok and other apps from time to time, Instagram keeps launching new features every now and then. Recently, it announced that it wants its application to be more "social" or socially inclined with three very exciting features: Interactive maps, a repost option, and exposure to what friends like.

Interactive Map Feature

This new map feature is being envisioned by Instagram, which will enable users to find photos and videos by location. For instance, if you' re looking for a restaurant in India, now you can pump reviews, pictures, and stories from that location straight from the map. This could also be an amazing opportunity for businesses.

Repost Options on Instagram

Over the course of time, users have been clamoring for a formal repost feature on the very same platform that is available on TikTok and Facebook. Well, this app is about to grant this wish. Users will, through this mode, be able to repost content from other users straight to their followers, thus making content sharing an easy and fast experience.

You will See What Your Friends Liked

Another big change is coming with its algorithm. Not only will you get feed suggestions, but you will now also get suggestions for what your friends like or save. Thus, it will be easier to discover even more new and exciting content, almost like on Facebook.

Impact of This Change

This will let people see the content and let them socialize. This way, it would lead to even more user engagement on the app, spending more time on it, and giving better opportunities for brands to take advantage of creators.

The app ceases to exist as a photo-sharing app and continues to become ming one more genuinely social networking platform. Their transformations foretell the future of the social media world.
