Instagram Unveils New Ephemeral Photos Feature Called Instants

Instagram has introduced a new feature called “Instants,” which are disappearing photos that users can’t edit and must share with close friends or followers who follow them back. Available globally starting this Wednesday, Instants can be accessed through the Instagram app’s DM inbox or as a separate app in select countries. When posted, Instants will appear in the recipient’s inbox as an uneditable stack of photos, accompanied by emoji reactions and the ability to send replies via direct message.
