Now, we have some new pieces of information that showcase that Instagram is gearing to release some exciting new features. However, it is important to know that there is always a chance that the company might decide against going for these features, which would be unfortunate but in the tech world, this happens all the time.
Instagram is Bringing a Heap of Features Including Story Replies Using Images or Voice Notes, Disappearing Reactions, and Post Sharing via QR Codes
Based on a massive tip from Alessandro Paluzzi, a reliable leaker and reverse engineer, Instagram is working on Exclusive Tab for subscriber content. So, if you are paying a creator, you would get the chance to easily access this section which displays the paid posts.

— Alessandro Paluzzi (@alex193a) March 26, 2022 For the longest time, Instagram allowed users to directly share a post to several other social media platforms. Now, the company seems to be implementing a QR code option that would give you one more way to share a post with your friends.

ℹ️ Basically it means that you can send the reactions to Stories in chats with the vanish mode enabled. pic.twitter.com/y7JC7bosY8 — Alessandro Paluzzi (@alex193a) March 25, 2022 It is worth noting, however, that all the features are currently under development and stuff like that happens and gets tested all the time. We are certainly not sure if these features would see the light of the day, but if they ever do, we will be sure to inform you.
