Instagram meluncurkan fitur baru Instagram
Stories, yang memungkinkan pengguna "berbagi semua momen dari hari"
mereka dalam foto dan video yang disajikan dalam format slideshow. Foto
dan video ini akan hilang setelah 24 jam.
Fitur ini sangat mirip dengan fitur sebuah aplikasi mobile lain:
Snapchat. Dengan Snapchat Stories, pengguna juga dapat berbagi foto dan
video yang akan hilang setelah tidak lebih dari 24 jam.
Instagram mengumumkan fitur baru ini dalam blognya, Selasa, 2 Agustus.
"Today, we’re introducing Instagram Stories, a new feature that lets you
share all the moments of your day, not just the ones you want to keep on
your profile. As you share multiple photos and videos, they appear
together in a slideshow format: your story.
With Instagram Stories, you don’t have to worry about overposting.
Instead, you can share as much as you want throughout the day — with as
much creativity as you want. You can bring your story to life in new
ways with text and drawing tools. The photos and videos will disappear
after 24 hours and won’t appear on your profile grid or in feed.
You’ll see stories from people you follow in a bar at the top of your
feed — from your best friends to your favorite popular accounts. When
there’s something new to see, their profile photo will have a colorful
ring around it.
To view someone’s story, just tap on their profile photo. It’s easy to
view stories at your own pace: tap to go back and forward or swipe to
jump to another person’s story. If you want to comment on something you
see, you can tap and send a private message to that person on Instagram
Direct. Unlike regular posts, there are no likes or public comments.
Your story follows the privacy settings of your account. If you set your
account to private, your story is visible only to your followers.
However, you can also easily hide your entire story from anyone you
don’t want to see it, even if they follow you. When watching your own
story, swipe up to check out who’s seen each photo and video. You can
even choose to feature a particular part of your story by posting it on
your profile.
Instagram has always been a place to share the moments you want to
remember. Now you can share your highlights and everything in between,
too.
Instagram Stories will be rolling out globally over the next few weeks
on iOS and Android. To learn more, check out help.instagram.com.

Dalam interview degan TechCrunch,
CEO Instragram, Kevin Systrom secara terbuka mengaku bahwa Instagram
Stories bukan sesuatu yang orisinil dan memang menyerupai Snapchat
Stories. "Mereka (Snapchat) berhak mendapatkan penghargaan."
"Ini bukan soal siapa yang pertama kali membuat sebuah inovasi," lanjut Systrom.
"tapi bagaimana kamu menerapkan inovasi tersebut secara tepat ke dalam produk yang kamu miliki."
Masih harus dilihat bagaimana fitur
baru ini akan mempengaruhi dunia media sosial. Apakah Instagram Stories
akan memakan pengguna Snapchat? Tulis pendapatmu di kotak komentar di
