Instagram has announced some new features including a new “Notes” feature and a “Candid Stories” which is being called a BeReal clone.
The new feature called “Notes” allows users to create short notes consisting of 60 characters of text and emojis. Notes don’t appear in a feed and can only be shared share with a limited group of people including followers you follow back or people on your Close Friends list.
Candid Stories appears to be a clone of a popular app called “BeReal” which allows users to share an image that includes a snapshot from both your front and back cameras. Users will be able to take a candid from a daily notification reminder. You’ll also be able to snap candids from the Stories camera or a multi-author Story.
Instagram is also testing out a “Group” feature to give people more ways to collaborate and connect with friends in groups.
The new features are currently rolling out to users at the moment.
