Instagram Unleashes its New Feature Which is Quite Interesting!

This year, we saw some notable changes in Instagram, the video and image sharing social network platform owned by Facebook, Inc.

Instagram now has IGTV, @mention, ‘Add This to Your Story’ prompt in privately sent image messages and more. Also, on top of the feeds, there are ‘stories’ by your friends. Insta upgraded it later so that users can add soundtracks and boomerang too. Unarguably, all these changes bagged many positive reviews.

Now, Instagram is rolling out some new features to the ‘Stories’ and adding up some new features in your feed.

Reportedly, there is going to be an “Ability to Ask Questions” with the ‘stories’ with detailed and lengthy text content.
Furthermore, Instagram is testing a new feature of ‘Stories’. So that the bar stays at the top of your feed as you scroll, making your friends’ stories almost impossible to ignore. At the moment, it remains at the top of the page for 24 hours of and disappears as you scroll. But not many Insta users sound excited about this persistent bar following you down the feed.
Therefore, in the meantime, the Facebook-owned app is testing a new pattern that will see the Stories by our friends pinned to the top of the user interface, following us down as we scroll. The latest update allows the bar to tag along as you go through your news feed. This feature is likely to be divisive, with some users finding it an unwelcome distraction. While others, not so much.
One of the main troubles was that an algorithm-based feed of Instagram abets oblivious browsing and confusion over what photos and videos are new or unseen.

What is Mobile First Indexing? How does it Work & Affect SEO?

A lot is being talked about  mobile first indexing . It is the product of Google’s development efforts in making the web more mobile-friendly.
