Instagram has just put on more cool features on their popular mobile app.
Instagram new update includes a Boomerang app allowing you to create looped videos, secondly ‘mentions’ allows you to mention people when creating stories and ‘See More’ links which allows verified accounts to add links on their stories.
Here is a breakdown on how each feature works:
Mentions
Mentioning people in stories works the same as it does in captions and comments. When you add text to your story, type “@” followed by a username and select the person you’d like to mention. Their username will appear underlined in your story. And when someone taps the mention, they’ll see a pop-up that takes them to that profile.
You’ll receive a notification in Direct when you’re mentioned in someone else’s story. Just tap the preview to go straight to the story for as long as it’s live. If someone you don’t follow mentions you, you’ll see the notification in your message requests.
‘See More’ Links
Watching someone’s story and want to dig deeper? You may spot “See More” links at the bottom of some stories. This is a test that lets verified accounts add links so it’s easy to learn more. From discovering the latest music by Chance the Rapper (@chancetherapper) to learning about a new movie starring Dwayne Johnson (@therock) or reading a related article from Bustle (@bustle), tap “See More” or swipe up to view the link right inside the app.
These updates are available on Instagram version 9.7 for iOS in the Apple App Store, for Android in Google Play and for Windows 10 in the Windows Store.
