Instagram put ‘poke’ button in DM section
The poke feature developed for Instagram can be used in the DM section. If the activity status of the person you are messaging is open, you can click on the chat screen as soon as he/she is online. “Ahmet is active now. Poke.” A text like this will appear and when you press the poke button, a warning will be sent to it.
When the Nudge feature, which is used with the name “Send vibration” in MSN Messenger, was activated, the chat window of the other person was flickering. When you poke someone on Facebook, only a notification with the message “Your friend poked you” goes away. The working logic of the feature on the Instagram platform is not yet known.
Alessandro Paluzzi, to a question from a follower on this subject “Currently sending his 👋 emoji. But since the app crashed right after, I don’t know what else it actually does.” gave the answer.
Extended reels time
While the poke feature is in development, Instagram recently rolled out something that Reels users will love. Previously, it allowed uploading videos of up to 60 seconds. Now 90 seconds (1.5 minutes) Reels videos can be created. Its arch-rival TikTok is preparing to increase this time to 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, the Reels feature came to Facebook in February and is said to be coming to the WhatsApp platform soon. However, it is not yet clear when it will bring Reels as WhatsApp is busy with more important matters, including the Multi-Device 2.0 system that allows one account to be used on two phones at the same time.
