News & Reviews:   Instagram features

Instagram is hiding likes globally! Starting from Thursday onward, the company announced hiding likes will only be extended in the US as a testing period last week but yesterday, users globally had experienced it. That's not to say everyone, but only some who are randomly selected. In fact, it could be you!

Instagram is consistently having new updates recently and one of the major update is the removal of the following tab feature that allowed users to spy on their friend’s activities. This feature used to enable users to follow the activities such as liked posts, commented posts, new subscriptions and many more from their friends they followed.

Don’t freak out, Instagram is currently hiding Instagram likes for users in Australia as a test. For those of you not following, the number of “likes” for an instagram photo can usually be seen under a photo. Now it is no longer possible for Australian users to see their own and others’ “likes” on photos.

With the reign of social media also reigns the keyboard warriors. If you aren’t familiar with the term, it refers to those who love arguing and posting mean things on the internet. Cyberbullying happens on the online space as well which is why Instagram is stepping up with two new features.

If you were wondering why Facebook, WhatsApp, Instagram and Facebook Messenger couldn’t load, here’s why. According to DownDetector, the services were down at around 8PM last night and it seems like the outage was global. 

A shocking update has been added onto an article on Facebook’s Newsroom that was published 4 weeks ago. It mentions that millions of Instagram users’ passwords had been stored in a readable format for all of their employees to see.

Us Malaysians love to shop, especially online and on social media. There are so many Instagram shops up and running, providing us with things we can’t always find in physical stores around us and Instagram has definitely noticed that.

The horror! Facebook’s family of apps which include Instagram, Facebook, FB Messenger and Whatsapp has been down for the past few hours now. The problem not only affects us Malaysians but everyone around the world.

Instead of giving users what they want, which is a chronilogical timeline, Instagram is giving us another annoying update. Let’s be real: How many of you guys actually watch IGTV videos? Clearly not a lot of you guys because now Instagram is trying to force its users to watch the videos on their feeds itself starting this Thursday.

Despite the fact that WhatsApp, Instagram and FB Messenger all belong under Facebook, the social media platform has seen a huge decline in its user engagement on their platform compared to the rest. This probably has led to the reason why Facebook is looking to unifi Facebook with WhatsApp, FB Messenger and Instagram.
