One of the world's most popular social media applications, Instagram, continues to gain new features. Aiming to increase interaction with users with various innovations, the platform recently added a popular WhatsApp feature.
“Status setting”, which has been in our lives almost since the establishment of WhatsApp, has been added to Instagram. After that, users will be able to report a status indicating their current status, such as available or busy, if they wish. So how to use this feature? Here are the details…
How to set Instagram status?
The steps that Instagram users need to follow to take advantage of this new feature are quite simple. First of all, you have to log in from the application. The platform, which is completely mobile-oriented, unfortunately did not bring status adjustment to the desktop site, as it has many features.
Secondly, you need to tap the “set status” button just below your name. It is worth remembering that the feature is released gradually and may not be available to every user in the first place. Then just tick one of the options working, celebrating, busy and happy.
After that, the status you selected will appear. For now, the options are pretty limited. However, the company is expected to add more options to the platform, just like in the time WhatsApp. This includes situations where users write their own instead of using the ready-made one.
New features are on the way
As a matter of fact, this is not the only feature added to the platform recently. The company attracted attention a few days ago when it opened the sticker feature for the links in the story to all users. So how to add Instagram link sticker.
After uploading content to your story, go to the sticker tool in the top navigation.
