New Instagram features can be kind of exciting when they first rollout. You wonder how they will affect the user experience. Will it make the experience better? Will they have an impact on marketing? How useful will the new Instagram feature be? It can be interesting to see how seemingly minor features can create significant changes.
With Instagram categories, you have a new feature that allows users to sort the accounts they follow in different ways. With this feature, you can find the accounts you see the most, the ones you interact with the least and you can even look at an Instagram categories list for the accounts you have followed most recently or those that you have been following the longest. Along with that, you can also manage notifications and how much you see from some of the accounts you follow.
This can be good for users because it makes it easier to manage the accounts they follow based on a range of factors. As an example, you might look for the accounts you interact with the least and find that you want to unfollow. On the other side, you might find an account that is showing up a lot and manage the notifications so you see them less. You could also look back on the oldest accounts on your list and find that they no longer reflect your interests at the current time.
While it isn’t a seismic shift in the way the platform operates, these types of Instagram features make a difference. In this post, we are going to look at how you can use these accounts from your Instagram profile.
