Instagram was initially launched as a photo-sharing platform, but, over time, the company has integrated a video-sharing system into the platform. These days, Instagram is no longer considered a photo-sharing app; it’s also known for its shorter forms of videos.
Also, Instagram has a TikTok type feature which is called Reels. Other than that, you get several other features such as IGTV, Stories, and more. If you use Instagram regularly, you might already be familiar with the Drafts feature.
If you have any post that isn’t ready to publish, you can save them as a draft. Once you save posts to the drafts, you can come back and start editing the post you have left off. It’s a helpful feature, but many users don’t know how to use it.
