Instagram is a constantly evolving platform and keeps introducing new features all the time. Besides, online stores are always buzzing with smart new apps that help make Instagram profiles and albums better, more attractive, and even professional. So here are 3 of the most interesting trends kids on Instagram may want to adopt.
Instagram Live
Introduced back in 2016, Instagram Live has evolved into a broadcast format of its own standing. In 2020 it experienced a sharp spike in interest as a way to maintain connections, make announcements and organise events digitally. From February to March 2020 alone, there was a 70% increase in live views, as Instagram itself reported. For enterprising kids, IG Live can be the first step to becoming a star speaker, rock sensation or ace teacher in future. Displaying their skills to a live audience is now low expense, and can be done from home with the help of a mobile or laptop camera. It’s one of the surest ways of building an IG fan following, and perhaps act as stepping stones to a career.
Instagram Carousels
With the help of free and easy apps, creating Instagram graphics is more fun than ever. Carousel posts are the top trend in this category. They allow the user to include up to 10 posts, complete with graphics and short pieces of information. It is also being used as an educational tool, to post on topics ranging from mental health to better living to racial justice to ecological awareness. Many teenagers feel strongly about a cause and want to make people aware about it. The carousel feature is perfect for them. Creative children are putting up min art displays on carousel, while budding chefs are showcasing their delightful creations.
Instagram Guides
Instagram Guides was introduced in May 2020 as just a tool for well-being tips. Instagram worked with companies and individual creators to put together self-care manuals that might literally guide people out of metal issues. Since then, Guides have become a favourite feature with many other users as well
