January 2019 Top Instagram Updates. — That not all, Instagram also introduced new testing features.

Sharing to Multiple Accounts

This new feature allows users to share a single post to multiple of their linked accounts at the same time. (This includes personal accounts) It’s worth mentioning that this feature is not too groundbreaking. Because social media management software has already made this possible. But the new feature is perfect for a small business working with a tight budget or with sister accounts that benefit from overlapping content. Currently, the feature is only available on IOS. Typically cross-device rollouts take place soon after. But as of now, there is no exact date.

Video Scheduling

Instagram video scheduling allows you to create and upload content from both the mobile app or desktop. Video is an important and effective part of a marketing strategy. This is a game changer considering that you can now make sure your video is fitted for the appropriate time. As a result, you can post at peak posting times to maximize reach and drive results.

New Sticker Features

Throughout last year we saw several new interactive stickers available for Instagram Stories. The new update allows Question Stickers to be used during live broadcasts. Therefore, making the question-and-answer session more personal, urgent, and engaging. Trying to keep up with all the live comments can become overwhelming. The new feature is a great way to keep live Q&As more interesting and easy to manage. The Instagram Countdown Sticker is brand new and is a perfect way to promote events, sales, and important news about your business.
