6 Instagram Features You Should Be Using Right Now

Instagram is one of the most popular social media platforms on the planet, and it’s easy to see why. The app has become a place for people to post photos and videos, but there are also many other cool features that you can use to improve your Instagram experience. Here are four features you should be using on Instagram right now:

Save your Snapchat Stories to Instagram For Content

Instagram Stories is the perfect way to share moments with your friends and family, but it can be hard to remember how much time passes between when you post a story and when someone sees it. Snapchat has been around for years, but if you’re looking for a more user-friendly version of the same concept (and don’t mind sharing every second of your day with strangers), then save your Snapchat Stories straight from the app itself. You’ll be able to edit them before posting so that they look just right or even add filters like those used on Instagram stories itself!

Search By Location In Stories

Instagram has a feature that can help you find places and events around you. It’s called Search by Location, and it allows you to search for places or events directly in your feed by location. You can also search by hashtag, username, or even the name of an artist who performed at an event (which is often useful if there are multiple performers).

This feature offers a great way to discover new things happening nearby—and we all know how important those are!

Take Advantage of the New Camera Tools In Instagram Stories

Instagram Stories is a great way to share your favorite photos and videos with your friends. But you can also use it to create amazing fun stuff on the fly!

Here are some tips for using the new camera tools in Instagram Stories:

• Use text, stickers, filters, and add-ons together on one picture. The possibilities are endless! You can do this by taking advantage of the new camera tools that allow you to add text right after taking a photo—or just before posting it if you want an extra punch of creativity (and maybe even some laughs). Then add stickers or other effects after that if desired; again, this is totally up to personal preference so experiment until finding what works best for everyone involved 🙂

Have Your Own Private Story

A private story is a special Instagram feature that lets you share posts only with the people you want to see them. You can’t see these posts from anyone else, and they will only be visible on your device. Private stories also allow you to directly interact with other users in the comments section of a post, so if someone leaves a comment on one of your photos or videos (and they allow this), they’ll get an alert when they go back through their feed.

This means that when someone leaves a comment on one of your photos or videos—like “What did I just see?”—you’ll receive an alert letting me know that person liked the photo/video!

Save and Share Instagram Live videos

Once you’ve saved a live video, it will appear in your camera roll. The beauty of saving and sharing Instagram Live videos is that they can be shared on other social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter. You can also add a watermark to any video that you post, making them more interesting for people who want to watch them later down the line (you know who they are).

If there’s one thing I would change about this feature, it would be adding the ability to share live videos directly into stories – something else we’ll discuss later!

New Business Features

Business profiles are now available on Instagram, and they’re a great way to show off your brand. With the new business profile feature, you can create a page that showcases all the different aspects of your company—designs, services offered, etc. You can also include videos or photos from special events or projects (like when you got featured in an article).

New business tools include:

• Business profiles (see above)
• An e-commerce section where users can purchase products directly from within their pages
• A directory where businesses can post their contact information

I hope you’ve found this guide about Instagram features useful, and that you’re now better prepared to manage your account. While the new features might seem like a lot at first, I promise that they will become second nature once you get used to them!
