It is now clear that Zuckerberg's weapon against Snapchat is called Instagram. The two latest innovations announced today fit into this "copy and improve" strategy : live videos and disappearing direct messages. Ephemeral Live Videos To start a live broadcast, simply scroll to the right and press “Start Live Video”. The maximum duration is one hour. At this point, active followers will see the "live" indication on the broadcaster's photo in the Stories bar and those who interact with him the most will receive a notification that will allow them not to miss the live broadcast. In fact, as soon as it is completed it will no longer be recoverable. This is the substantial difference with Facebook Live and Periscope.
Viewers will be able to leave comments Canada Phone Number and hearts. In turn, the broadcaster will be able to comment and decide to pin a comment at the top so that it is immediately visible to everyone (by holding your finger down on the comment). It is also possible to disable comments. The live shows will also be hosted in the Explore section. By clicking on “Top Live” you will see some selected stories live at that moment. Content disappearing in Instagram Direct Direct, Instagram's private message box, is getting a makeover. In addition to permanent messages, from today, ephemeral messages are active. To compose them, just take a photo or shoot a video, add a text or a drawing and then press the arrow at the bottom right. At this point all that remains is to choose the recipients or a group. Unlike other direct messages, which are sent by accessing the inbox marked with the new paper airplane icon, these will disappear from the recipients' inbox after viewing.
The sender will know if they have been opened and if a screenshot has been taken of them. In the inbox, ephemeral messages are positioned at the top in a horizontal bar. The sender's face will be circled in blue. In the groups you will be able to see everyone's answers and also those who have seen them, in the form of a slideshow. Both innovations are aimed above all at people who want to establish personal, rapid and empathetic communication between peers (the idea behind Snapchat), but it is not excluded that companies can use them creatively in their marketing activities.
