To celebrate Instagram’s 10th birthday, the social media platform has introduced a few new features that you can take advantage of. One of the features include a hidden Easter egg that lets you change its home screen icon.
On 6 October, Instagram tweeted a vague but easy-to-follow set of instructions that let you access the hidden Easter egg. The tweet above by @kosmowskipat shows you exactly what to do once you fire up Instagram. But let me list it down for you:
The choices for the Instagram home screens include old-school classic icons from 2010, a pre-launch icon, and a few different coloured versions of the new icon. However, Instagram’s message reads “this month we’re inviting you to change your app icon to your favourite”—meaning that whatever you choose as your icon might not stick after October.
Coinciding with Instagram’s birthday Easter egg, the platform added new additions to their stories archive feature. The stories archive now includes a new monthly calendar view—which shows the days you posted each story—and a map which shows story locations. Here’s how to access them:
Bullying and harassment is a big deal, and it happens often—especially to accounts of public figures. While we can usually delete and report on comments, Instagram has introduced new ways to deal with them.
The platform will begin automatically hiding potentially offensive comments as part of its ongoing attempt to address online bullying. The comments that will be hidden will be similar to those that have been reported by users in the past.
However, the comments won’t be gone completely. You will still be able to tap “View Hidden Comments” to see those remarks.
Previously, Instagram has also introduced Facebook Messenger features for their chat section. The features include colourful chats, reactions with any emoji, and swiping to reply to individual messages.
