What to expect from the new Instagram update | Changes on the famous social network platform
According to a post on his Twitter feed made on Valentine’s Day, Instagram head Adam Mosseri announced that a new update for the popular social network will soon be available. Wanting to give users a platform to express their love. He announced the new ability to be able to like stories.

Along the way the user was notified of your reaction by direct message which resulted in the inbox filling up with notifications of not so important and messages from the user’s friends getting lost.
For that reason the company wanted to give a solution to this problem. Without taking away from the user the possibility of interacting with his friends decided to add an extra button in the stories between sending a message and sending a shuttle. With a heart-shaped button which by pressing it you show the creator that you like the content you upload. The list of likes will not be visible to the user’s followers but only to the user and can be found by dragging the screen upwards next to the list of viewers.
