New Instagram updates: Reposts, location sharing and new Reels tab

There are some new Instagram features that launched this week.

Here are a few updates:

  • Instagram is introducing “reposts” which allow you to repost posts or Reels that go directly under your profile tab, so you can easily access them. It also plugs the same content into your friends’ and followers’ feeds.
  • “Instagram Map” lets you choose who you share your location with.
  • “Friends” is a new tab you can find in Reels that lets you interact with your friends’ content.

Those are a few new things you’ll notice when you open your app — test them out and see how you like it!
