It was August 2020 when Instagram first went to Tiktok with roll features.
If 2020 concerning putting the land phase for rolls to take the tiktok, then 2021 is about Instagram to be increasingly as popular applications owned by Bypance.
When the year passes with Instagram enters too many features like Tiktok.
Furthermore, officially said that the application would not be about photos.
Adam Mosseri, Head of Instagram, earlier this year said that “we are no longer a photo sharing application or a square photo sharing application.” What happened in Tiktok, did not live in Tiktokthe Byedance – the application owned had completely took off in recent years.
Although it is prohibited in India, Tiktok remains one of the most downloaded applications in the world with millions of monthly active users.
And it inspired people like Instagram became more like them.
So Instagram does that – gives its own tweak to features that are already popular in Tiktok.
WhatsApp can provide ‘new strength’ to the group admin, it might have more control over Chatsin members March 2021, Instagram launches a feature called Remix – allowing users to record video rolls along with videos from other users.
This feature is very similar to a duet, found in Tiktok.
When the Instagram roll was launched, the video was short at only 15 seconds.
However, soon the deadline is doubled but at 2021 rolls can be more than 60 seconds.
Tiktok previously had a time limit of 1 minute but was raised to 3 minutes by 2021 – something that Instagram did.
The roll also received text-to-speech features and sound effects in 2021, which was already in Tiktok.
Instagram also launched a search experience that is all new now will display suggestions for photos and videos rather than hashtags, user account or places.
Similar functionality has been in Tiktok for a while now.
Last week, a feature called Visual Racing landed on Instagram.
Very surprising, already in Tiktok for a while.
It’s all about video and entertainment on InstagramMosseri earlier this year it makes it clear that Instagram faces big competition for eyeballs.
