It's all change in Insta World...

Well it's all happening in Insta World at the moment, isn't it?

Our fave app is rolling out so many changes for us all to get used to.  Here's a little round up of some of the main updates to look out for...

Likes
Have you seen the news that the hidden likes has now been rolled out to the States and Australia?  I haven't seen any word on when it will hit the UK, but we can probably expect to see this being trialled here in the next two years.  

How do you feel about this?  I've been pretty vocal on my Instagram page that I think this can only be a good thing.  We all know the parallels between self esteem from seeing those little hearts racking up on your posts and mental wellbeing; so I love the idea of stripping it right back to just creating content that makes you feel good.

What do you think?

New inbox features
Have you got the new inbox feature of 'Primary' and 'General'? 

As part of Insta's new 'Creator' account option (for all of you influencers out there), the inbox is now divided into two filters. 

Create in Stories
My fave update - Insta has added so many options to Stories for you to create some fab content.  As well as being able to add gifs to text only Stories, there are also templates for your Follow Fridays and to share your top picks.

Alongside this we've lost the 'Following' activity tab, have got updates coming in IGTV (can be landscape, hurrah!), plus the amazing new @shop account...

It looks like Instagram is going to look very different at the end of 2020!

If you would like any help getting your head round getting visible on Instagram, I offer an Power Hour where we look at your profile, and I share tips and tricks on how to stop the tumbleweed of silence every time you post.
