Facebook continues to work with the intention of adding functionalities to Instagram that make it the ultimate social network. Although it is true that the application has more functions than you would expect from an application with these characteristics, all of them are welcome, especially for the battery and data consumption they do, which in itself is a real drain. However, this latest update is quite interesting in terms of turning the application into one more messaging method. Let's go there to take a look at the news that Instagram includes without telling ourselves absolutely anything in advance.
In fact, most of you already know this function quite well, and it is that the "Direct" of Instagram is the method with which we communicate with other users when we want to respond to a "Story" that you have shared in your account, in that way a quick conversation opens. Well, now a more interesting novelty has arrived if possible, and that is that we can add "ephemeral" videos and photographs to those conversations, that is, If we click on the camera icon that appears in the lower right part of the text box, we can add a photo, video or Boomerang that the other person will be able to see, but will then disappear.
We want to make Instagram Direct the best place to have fun and visual conversations
Ephemeral content is becoming more and more popular on social media, Status WhatsApp have been a total failure, but not so the Stories of Instagram, which have turned out to be a success, allowing us to share content quickly, and not long-lasting. This latest major update has hit the iOS App Store yesterday, However, what does not come is the possibility of deactivating this type of content in the form of "Stories" on Facebook and WhatsApp, despite the excessive consumption of data and battery that it entails.
Could you help me? .. since Instagram was updated about 3 days ago, the videos are not loaded, they are blocked. I have an Iphone 6. Thanks in advance for the help.
