Even later there will be a create feature on Instagram Stories, which allows users to use interactive stickers without taking pictures first. In addition, users will also be able to use GIF as a background for Story posts
3. The Following Activity feature is deleted
This feature was quickly realized by Instagram users soon after it was implemented, namely the absence of following activity.
As a result Instagram users can now no longer see the activity of friends or accounts that are followed. When the user clicks on the heart icon, only the activity itself appears.
"Many people do not know their activities can be seen by others. But in the end simplicity is the driving factor [removal of Following features]," Instagram Head of Product Vishal Shah told Buzzfeed as reported by PhoneArena.
This feature was launched by Instagram in 2011. The Following tab allows users to view and monitor likes, comments and other user activities that you follow.
