Use these tools to increase ENGAGEMENT
We're like your personal trainer...if you're having difficulty keeping up with the updates, we're here to keep you accountable!
Fast-paced. Always changing. What did they come up with this time? Instagram's been pretty busy lately. Which means we are even busier! (Are you chipping away, too?)
To keep it real, we consider ourselves lucky that Instagram is creating these new features. We understand it's adding more to your plate and is time-consuming, but the benefits are by far worth it. If you feel that way, 1. You have a choice; let's try a mindset switch where the new features excite you rather than consume you. 2. If time is the stressing factor, Hi! We're socialtopia and in case you missed it, this is what we do for a living, so assess if it's time to ask for some guidance. 😃
We embrace these updates and can't wait to see them in action. They're going to help boost your engagement tremendously!
Keep scrolling for the latest features and we'll teach you how to use them!
You can add captions to your IG stories automatically by adding a sticker. The captions will automatically populate for you when speaking. (If you're reading this saying to yourself WTH is a sticker, no shame - let's talk because education is something we really believe in!)
We knew this one was coming! Instagram has been mirroring TikTok with the creation of Reels and this was definitely in the pipeline for a while.
This feature allows you to include other people's content within yours to create a fun mix. This is great to get recognized! If you need industry suggestions on how to best utilize this, we have a wheelhouse full of recommendations. And yes, every business can use this to their advantage.
Personally, our team cannot WAIT for this option and we are secretly hoping we are one of the accounts that gets test access!
IG Story Drafts will be major. This way you can work on creating content on your schedule and save it for later. This is great for the person on the go because TBH aren't we all that person at some point?
Lost content no more! You may or may not have already figured this one out since it's been circulating for a bit, but this is great for any account. It provides you with peace of mind should you accidentally delete any content. It's also an excellent form of backup against hackers.
