In the last few hours, those who have updated the app will have realized some news: we are talking about Instagramone of the most used apps especially to post photos but also to share the stories. Meta social social media always remains updated so as not to lose ground with the fierce competitors (Tik Tok above all) bringing new functions that will be very welcome by users.
The connection with WhatsApp
Among the most important here is the introduction of the new sticker with the writing WhatsApp When you want to go to share a story: in addition to those already existing for some time such as place, mention, music and all the others, here is also the classic green icon with the chat. But what is it for and who can use it? By clicking on the adhesive, a screen appears that allows you to connect your WhatsApp Business account. At this stage, therefore, the option is reserved only for those who work with company telephone numbers and not for all users. The step forward, however, is especially important for those who work daily with these two social networks and get in touch faster with the company or the desired user so as to shorten the waiting times and make everything more flowable.
To be able to activate It will be necessary to select or add the business telephone number for the WhatsApp account and the connection with Instagram will take place easy and intuitively adding only the code that will be sent to the selected contact for safety reasons. Once inserted, the two social networks will begin to “communicate”.
Zoom and sounds
But this is not only the novelty: in great demand and welcome by users it will also be a better for the stories: now it will be possible to do it zoom. Until now, at most, they could be blocked with their fingers to have time to observe what is published by the person or company of interest but now it can be seen in detail thanks to the classic magnification of the image (or video) putting two fingers on the screen and spreading it. As always, it may not yet be available for everyone (but it will be these days) and we emphasize that it is an absolute novelty because this option had never existed.
Finally, but not least, there is a new sound For push notifications received: in this case there is a clear difference with what iOS automatically proposes and will be valid for both private and direct messages but also
For all notifications concerning Reel and posts like the classics “likes”, the “likes”. In order to fully exploit these three new functions, however, Instagram must be updated with the latest version available.
