Previously, live broadcasts hosted by Instagram users were visible to all their followers and if the user’s account was public then anyone could join and see the live streaming, but it is set to change with a new option that will allow users to have control over who will be able to see the live broadcast.
Meta owner social media platform Instagram has been trying to give users the option to make their presence and interactions on the platform more private and this feature is also a step in that direction.
In November last year, Instagram allowed users on the platform to mark posts on their content grid for their close friends. Instagram had earlier also given the option to add mute button for everyone except close friends with which users could opt for better safety settings. The feature was first rolled out only for creators but is now available to all users. “Notes” on Instagram is also a way to connect with followers and friends privately.
Instagram has also announced that it will let users add music to carousel posts including videos. Earlier, music could be added to the carousel with photos only.
