Instagram has unveiled a groundbreaking feature, that allows users to share looping video Notes. This innovative feature initially introduced as an upgrade to WhatsApp statuses, is a new way for users to express themselves. Until now, status updates were restricted to text or emojis. Now, with Instagram’s latest addition, users can craft two-second looping video Notes to share with mutual followers or their Close Friends list. Simultaneously, whispers of a new privacy feature being tested on the platform are gaining traction, promising users control over who can view their Likes on posts and reels.
