Meta has been active in delivering new features and upgrades for the users of its social media platforms, and Instagram being one of the largest platforms there is, the company fulfilled many experiences for users. One of the largest features on Instagram this year was the political content filter which allowed users to explore their feed by default while excluding these types of content, but many users found it 'broken.'
Another massive change on the platform this year was Meta's fulfillment of Instagram for teens, but instead of releasing a dedicated app for young and underaged users, it will still be available on the main platform. However, they will be met with significant changes to their experience where their accounts will automatically be set in private, 'Take a Break' suggestions, and would have restricted content that does not tackle sensitive topics.
It was also revealed by Instagram CEO Adam Mosseri that the platform's focus on short-form videos for their Reels would stay the same and will not change despite the massive demand for long-form content. However, Meta and Instagram were not the only ones to have significant activity on the platform as users are now given a chance to see their year-in-review plus a new 2024 Collage that can be easily made via Stories.
