From today, a number of additional tools are available on the social network that expand the possibilities for interaction with "Stories". They became the "Boomerang" mode built into the application and mentions. Some users report the opportunity to share links.
The new feature will independently combine several pictures, turning them into a kind of "live photos" available to iOS users. Previously, Boomerang existed only as an independent application and was very popular among Instagram users*.
With this innovation, you will be able to mention people close to you who appear in the publication, so that they will certainly find out about it. The function works exactly the same as in captions and comments. When adding text, insert the @ character, and then, without using spaces, enter the user name.
So far, this feature is available to a very limited circle of users. The developers are implementing it gradually and mainly among celebrities who have confirmed the authenticity of the account. Thanks to the integration of links, users will be able to share with fans detailed information about themselves and upcoming events directly in the "Stories".
The update with the corresponding functionality is already available for download in the App Store, Google Play and Microsoft Store.
