Instagram celebrates its 10th birthday by adding several new features for its users to enjoy! One feature is the Stories map which shows you a private map of locations that your stories have been taken from over the years. Next, a customisable Instagram icon, meaning that you can select how the IG app looks from your home screen. Further, you can now shop Instagram products from IGTV. These new additions offer possibilities for the everyday user to brands and businesses. Happy Birthday Instagram!
