Meta is welcoming a new app to the family.
Instagram globally launched a new feature called "Instants" on Wednesday. You can find it by going to the direct messaging tab on the main Instagram app. It's also rolling out a stand-alone app for the product in select countries, including the US.
Instants lets users share disappearing photos with their friends. These photos last 24 hours, can't be viewed more than once, and you can't see who viewed them. You also can't screenshot them.
The app's slogan, per the current app listing: "Real life, real quick."
It's basically a Frankenstein of social apps like Locket, BeReal, and, of course, Snapchat.
