Instagram comes with 3 new features: BeReal alternative, among others

With the BeReal app you are asked to take a picture of what you are doing at any time of the day. Instagram now comes with its own version of this.

Instagram comes with its own BeReal

The BeReal app has become quite popular in a short time. The aim of the app is to give an original twist to social networks. At any given time, the app can ask you what you are doing and then take a picture of it. You then upload it directly to your friends. Instagram is known for not always being original, and is now working on its own variant of BeReal.

Instagram itself calls it ‘Candid Stories’. Every day you share a photo via the function at any time, using both the front camera and the rear camera. Another new feature added by Instagram is ‘Notes’. It allows users to share short messages with followers. These messages consist of a maximum of 60 characters and are automatically deleted after 24 hours.

Another new feature being announced is group profiles. With this, a photo cannot be shared with your friends, but it can be shared with a group of which you are a member. You can also create joint collections with friends who have the same interests.
