He goes on to add that “Instagram will do more to try and value original content more, particularly compared to reposted content.” So, creators who come up with new and fresh ideas of their own have a better chance of getting recognition than the ones who merely repost others’ content.

In addition, the Meta-owned social media platform has new tagging features. Firstly, there’sproduct tagging, which is now available for all. This feature mostly allowed creators to tag products and get more reach. But, now anyone on Instagram can tag products they are using or wearing and get more traffic on their profile or a particular business or Instagram account.

Instagram hasalso introduced Enhanced Tagging, which will show a category next to a tag. So, if you have a category of an influencer, you will find a category the next time you are tagged in a photo or a video. The aim is for people to see your identity better. You can add this category by heading to the Profile -> Edit Profile. One thing to note is that this change will only happen if have switched to a Professional account on Instagram.

These changes will help more creators and people to have a better reach and eventually get monetary benefits on Instagram. As said previously too, creators are a core part of the platform and Instagram is expected to continuously release new features for them. What are your thoughts on this?
