Here is a rundown of the ones discovered by Jane.
Stop Motion Mode in Stories
Jane’s tweet reveals that Instagram will soon allow stop motion mode in Story Camera on Instagram. This feature was available almost two years back but the company removed it for an unknown reason. However, it seems that the feature will be reintroduced soon for enhanced functionality.Instagram is working on Stop Motion mode in Story Camera— Jane Manchun Wong (@wongmjane) June 19, 2019
It currently allows up to 10 frames. Each frame will be posted as its own Story, but I hope they'll combine those into one pic.twitter.com/35TsO5CD8k
Edit IGTV
The ‘under-test’ features also reveal the ability to crop IGTV previews. Apparently, the users were not comfortable with the full-screen preview of IGTV. That is why the Facebook-owned platform will soon allow the users to edit preview crop in their respective feeds.Instagram is working on option to edit IGTV preview crop in feed pic.twitter.com/VyW0qnV6Mb— Jane Manchun Wong (@wongmjane) June 18, 2019
Share stories to Facebook – revamped
Another notable feature of Instagram is the user’s ability to share their IGTV stories directly to Facebook. To make it more user-friendly for the users, the company is testing a new layout and IU to make it easier for the users to share these stories.Instagram is testing redesigned "Share Story to Facebook" UI— Jane Manchun Wong (@wongmjane) June 18, 2019
