Three new features have been introduced for Instagram and Messenger that enables users to connect with their friends in a more exciting way on these social media platforms. Let's have a look at
these features:
1- Watch Together
Once a user updates the app on Instagram, they and their friends can tune in to IGTV, Reels, TV shows, movies, and trending videos in real-time over video chat.
"We’re also bringing two new shows, “Post Malone’s Celebrity World Pong League” and “Here for It With Avani Gregg,” exclusively to Messenger and Instagram through Watch Together," the post from Facebook said.
Here, how to watch these shows
Start a video chat on Instagram or Messenger or create a Messenger Room.
In an Instagram video chat, tap the media button in the bottom right and select the "TV & Movies" tab.
In a Messenger video chat, tap the menu, select Watch Together then select the "TV & Movies" tab.
From there you can select various videos and other content, including Avani and Post’s shows.
This feature is available to experience now.
2- Special Chat Theme
"The second feature is chat themes such as tie-dye and love, so you can personalise your conversations," the post said, adding: "And we’re adding a special chat theme on Messenger and Instagram with TinyTAN, a group of characters created from the seven members of BTS.
Once a user updates to the new experience, they will be able to activate the TinyTAN chat theme on Instagram and Messenger.
It said, "Express your affection with emojis, share your favorite songs from the new album or customize your message reactions for your perfect TinyTAN-themed chat".
You can activate the TinyTAN chat theme on Instagram and Messenger in your chat settings by tapping Theme and selecting TinyTAN.
3- Vanish Mode
The third feature, vanish mode, is coming soon that makes seen messages disappear after the chat thread.
Now you can send memes, GIFs, or reactions to share what you really think but can’t always say, without it staying in your chat history.
To turn it on, just swipe up in an existing chat thread and you’re in vanish mode. Swipe up again and you’re back to your regular chat.
The vanish feature is available for the Messenger users in the US, and it will be rolled out in rest of the countries soon.
Watch Together and chat themes are just two of the ten new messaging features, including selfie stickers, custom emoji reactions, animated message effects, and message controls, now available globally to anyone who chooses to update to the new Messenger experience on Instagram.
