The company’s graphic department has obviously been seriously
busy, and so the developers. One of the more advanced new additions to the v26
update is a set of new sounds for the Superzoom effect.
Users will be able to
choose from “Beats,” “Bounce,” and “TV Show” sounds. If you’re like us and not
exactly intimately familiar with Superzoom, it is basically a dramatic close-up
video effect, to the sound of dramatic music, introduced back in October last
year.

You can expect to start seeing all the new content, roll our
gradually over the next few weeks. And there is more to look forward to as
well. The company has confirmed that it will be implementing a text-based
search feature for emojis and stickers in Stories. Initially, English will be
the only supported language and it should be enough to simplify the hunting
process.

Also, you might recall that Instagram is already testing a
separate Direct app, which basically separates out the messaging feature,
Facebook Messenger-style. While undoubtedly a polarizing move, the division is
bound to happen at some point. Rumours also hint at a new ability to re-post
other people’s photos and videos, as well as GIF support in Stories for future
Instagram updates.
