Instagram unveils new features to boost user creativity
To mark its 15th birthday, Instagram is rolling out fresh features designed to boost creativity and take the pressure off posting. Updates like Trial Reels, "quiet posting," grid post reordering, and improved Spotify integration are all about making the app feel more welcoming—whether you're a casual user or a creator.
Trial reels, quiet posting, and more
Trial Reels let you test videos with people who don't follow you before sharing them widely. With "quiet posting," you can share content without it showing up on your feed right away. You can also rearrange your grid posts for a profile that feels more like you, plus share music in Notes thanks to better Spotify integration.
AI tools for faster video editing
Instagram's Edits app now comes packed with AI tools like Restyle, making video editing faster and simpler for everyone who loves creating content.
Drafts initiative offers funding to emerging creators
The new Drafts initiative offers funding and mentorship to help emerging creators grow on Instagram—part of the platform's push to keep things creative and supportive for everyone.
