Instagram Plus Launch, Features, and Pricing
Now, Instagram will no longer be totally free as it has launched Instagram Plus, which gives you access to 7 incredible features. And how much per month you have to pay, what features we will get to see, we are going to discuss all these things in this video about the Instagram Plus subscription.
First of all, regarding this update, I had covered it a long time ago that Instagram is working on some such paid subscription application modules, and finally, Instagram has also released Instagram Plus.
It will have additional features that are different from normal Instagram, and you will have to pay some amount to Instagram per month. There are seven incredible features of Instagram Plus.
Create Multiple Stories for Different Audiences:
That is, you can create different types of stories for different types of audiences. Now, what happens if 100,000 people are following us? Not everyone's interest is in tech, not everyone's interest is in comedy, not everyone's interest is in food. So you can create different sets of stories for different types of audiences. Just like our Snapchat private stories. It will remove the "Close Friends" limit and allow for unlimited custom lists.
Get Story Rewatch Insight:
This tells you that your story was rewatched, but it usually doesn't reveal who rewatched it five times, to maintain privacy. Just like Snapchat. It feels like Snapchat is being copied by Instagram.
Search Your Story Viewer List:
That is, in your story viewers, whoever will watch your story, you will be able to search in the list for whom you want to search. It happens that our story, did they see it or not? So you will get an additional feature here.
Anonymous Story:
You can see any public or followed account's story without giving them a view. So this will be an anonymous feature; this feature is quite good.
Extend Your Story Expiration:
Now, there is a 24-hour expiry for the story; you will be able to extend it to 48 hours (or more in some test variants), like three days, or for one week, and your story reach will also increase.
Super Hearts to Story:
These are animated, premium reactions exclusive to Plus subscribers, instead of just liking it
Spotlight Your Story:
This allows you to "pin" any story to the front of your followers'. Spotlight feature resets once per week to ensure higher visibility.
These are the seven features included. We'll see if more will be added soon.
Instagram Plus Subscription Pricing
Specifically, it is being tested at MX$39 in Mexico (~$2.20 USD) and PHP 65 in the Philippines (~$1.10 USD). In India, it will be around 100 rupees per month subscription, so the monthly subscription will cost you 1.90 USD. And the first month is obviously free.
Features like anonymous viewing and extended stories are definitely useful. What do you think? Is Instagram Plus worth ₹100 a month, or are these features things that should stay free? Let's talk about it in the comments!
