From entrepreneurs, local shops to large organizations, businesses are experiencing proven results using Instagram. Currently, the platform is home to around 25 million businesses accessing the social channel around the world. Apart from being a platform for sharing images and videos, it has proved to be a powerful tool for generating leads and increasing store visits. Recently, a series of changes took place on Instagram, below are the latest updates you need to know.

Dark Mode:

On the off chance that you woke up today with a totally dull Instagram – you're a piece of their most recent beta test! Clients with working frameworks iOS 13 and Android 10 will encounter a darker variant of our most-cherished web based life application.
Anyway, a few people are blowing a gasket since it's not so much clear how to change to and from the Instagram we're utilized to, and the new, grungier, dull form.

As referenced, this is just accessible to clients with explicit working frameworks, however on the off chance that you have that, here's the manner by which to empower/handicap dim mode:

iPhone How to: Navigate to your telephone Settings -> select Display and Brightness -> Toggle the Dark choice.
Android How to: Navigate to your telephone Settings -> select Display -> select Theme -> turn on Dark Theme.

Request to Join a Friend’s Live Video:

Have you at any point gotten an email from Instagram disclosing to you you've equipped for the check, your secret key has been changed, or you have to desperately click this connect to spare your record from cancellation?? I think we as a whole have sooner or later, and some have lamentably tapped the connection inside those messages and simple minutes after the fact, notice their records have been hacked.

This is your conventional 'phishing' trick. The messages are sent by obscure gatherings that expect to fool you into entering your username and secret phrase someplace, so they can instantly take it and assume control over your record.

Instagram has at long last understood this is a significant issue and executed another element that will assist clients with deciding whether the email they got from 'Instagram' is genuine or not. This new component can be found inside your settings and will show any messages sent by Instagram over the most recent 14 days so you can know with assurance if the email is authentic or not.

Step by step instructions to go to your Instagram profile hit the cheeseburger symbol in the upper right, select Settings, select Security, at that point at last 'Messages From Instagram'.

I figure this element will be useful for some, anyway some essential spam email proposals include: taking a gander at the sender email, on the off chance that it finishes in something besides instagram.com, at that point, it's reasonable spam! Additionally, Instagram will never get in touch with you about confirmation or record infringement by means of email – you will ONLY get a warning in-application for these points.

Remain safe out there and consistently expect the most exceedingly awful with regards to messages from 'Instagram'!

Stories Highlights and Stories Archive:

Instagram has introduced the Archive feature, which is a flashback to all your stories. Whether you want to re-share that story or add it as a post or highlight a previous story, you can do so by picking the photos from the Stories archive. On the other hand, Stories Highlight is a feature that lets you showcase your previous stories on your profile.

Stories with indefinite limit:

The 24hour content upload restriction on Instagram Stories is now removed and users can now upload images or videos in the stories section which are more than 24 hours old. Once they are uploaded, you will automatically see the date of the photo when it was taken.
The social channel now allows you to join a live video. If your friend starts a live video, you can join the live broadcast by clicking on the request button which will show up in the comments section. Once the request gets accepted, your screen will split in half so that you can hang out live with your buddy.

Hashtag Following:

In its newest update, Instagram now lets users follow hashtags. Once you search for a particular hashtag, you’ll see a “Follow” button. By following the hashtag, you will see posts in your Instagram feed as well as on the Stories section. You can unfollow the hashtag anytime you want.
