Meta has likewise announced that new fonts, effects, and text animations for Reels and Stories are part of the update.
Meta's Recent Instagram Updates
Social media has become a big part of the everyday life in recent years, and among the most popular platforms have come from Meta, including Facebook and Instagram. Both platforms have seen numerous updates seen their debut, including Meta's AI integration. The company recently tested its AI chatbots on Instagram, which allows the user to respond to messages on their behalf.
Meta recently introduced a new font that changed how Instagram is presented, but this was met with backlash as the public preferred more of the previous typeface. Instagram posts, particularly for images, have remained almost the same for many years. Only a Notes feature and other minor changes have been added to them since the app was introduced.
Instagram remaids to be one of the most well-known and popular social media apps for content sharing. The new features that apply to static posts and carousels will further improve user experience on the app as Meta continues to develop more features for users to enjoy.
