In a recent announcement, Instagram revealed a new feature that will allow you to advertise your upcoming Lives. This was confirmed by Adam Mosseri, CEO of Instagram, from his official Twitter account. The manager explained that this novelty will offer users a way to show and broadcast their Lives planned in the future, without the need to resort to Stories or publications in the feed.
It is a small 'banner' or poster that will be shown on the profile of the person in charge of the Direct. With this new integration, greater visibility will be given to one of the most used functions of the social network. When a user touches on said poster, they will be able to set a reminder that will notify them when it is time to tune in to their favorite creator.
Until then, there was no way to set reminders for a future Livestream. In addition, although there was a way for creators to schedule a Live, the CEO of Instagram assures that this new function will allow “to separate the programming of a Live from the creation of a publication in the feed, or even a post like Story, about that stream.” Adam Mosseri announced that this poster will be visible to anyone who visits the profile, whether they are a follower or not. On the other hand, users will be able to set all the reminders they want for their upcoming Live Shows.
The 'Remixes' arrive on Instagram videos

The app launched this function in early 2021, which came as a way to compete against TikTok's 'Duets'. Until then, the Remix feature had been relegated to Reels only; now, however, it reaches all the videos of the social network.
In this way, you will be able to record a kind of “response” to any video you see on Instagram from your iPhone or Android. Of course, you also have the option to publish it on your profile and share it with the rest of your followers and friends.
Update your application to enjoy all the news announced. Instagram has announced a subscription system, and although there is still time for it to reach the app, it aims to be one of the most interesting functions according to the explanations that the company has offered.
