The Instagram team is an always evolving one. They add new features and capabilities regularly to make their users more loving and engaged. Now, the company has released yet another feature for the Instagram app for various platforms. With the latest version, you will be able to remix the photos received in Instagram direct from your friends.
When viewing a photo message from a friend, tap the camera icon at the bottom and capture a reply. Your reply includes a sticker of what you’re replying to. Move and resize it, and add your own twist to stickers, text, and drawings. You can remix photos back and forth for a fun visual of your conversation.
Additionally, you can now also control replays. Choose “One View” for messages you want your friends to only see once. For everything else, choose “Allow Replay” so your friends have more time to view your messages. Photos and videos sent with “Allow Replay” loop automatically and your friends can tap and hold to pause.
These updates are available as part of Instagram version 24 for iOS and version 24 on Android.
