Likes in Stories and mood in profile picture
A new feature is in development for Instagram. The photo service is working on a like button for the Stories. We get an idea of what this will look like in the Instagram app. In addition, there will be a new mood emoji for your profile picture.
Like button for Instagram Stories
Liking photos and videos is the most natural thing in the world in Instagram. However, this is not possible with all functions of the app, but the possibilities will soon be expanded further. This becomes clear after a developer’s news of an improvement for Instagram Stories.
It should become possible not only to give a heart to photos in your feed, but also to like a story such as Instagram Stories. The information about this comes from a developer, and shares a photo and gif of the new function. It must be possible to share a like several times.

Mood in profile picture
The same developer shares another new feature for Instagram. It should be possible to set a status, which can be recognized by an emoji. This is only visible to friends for a period of 24 hours. The feature should work independently of Instagram’s Threads app.

At this time, the new features are not yet available in the app. It is not clear when Instagram will add this new functionality to the photos app. Don’t miss anything? Then follow DroidApp on Instagram.
