Instagram launches disappearing ‘Instants’ posts with no edits or screenshots allowed
Instagram has launched Instants, a new feature designed to pivot the platform away from polished influencer aesthetics toward raw, unfiltered snapshots.
According to a report by USA Today, these posts cannot be edited or screenshotted, marking a significant shift in how users interact with the app.
Users are required to capture photos directly within the Instagram app to use the feature. Uploads from the camera roll are prohibited, and captions are the only available modification.
Meta explains that the goal is to share authentic moments as they happen, a move that mirrors the early days of Instagram while adopting elements from BeReal and Snapchat.
