Instagram’s new Stories sticker lets you ask your followers to join a new group chat
Followers must submit a request to join.
The original poster can then choose who they want to include in the new chat, which will take place in the direct messages inbox. For individuals and personal brands, it opens up some interesting opportunities to really engage with the audience.
Users can now create posts with reminders on Instagram, which people can receive notifications for. This is a valuable feature for capturing interest in a physical event, merch launch or new music.
