Instagram Testing New “Social Library” Feature for Easy Post Access
[[REWRITTEN]]
This news article highlights Instagram’s experiment with a new “Social Library” section, where users can easily access all the posts and Reels they have interacted with. The feature aims to address the common issue of users struggling to locate specific shared or liked content. With the increasing trend of sharing content via DMs, this new feature could streamline the process of finding and sharing interesting posts on the platform.
Instagram chief Adam Mosseri noted the shift in user behavior towards sharing more on stories and DMs rather than the Feed, emphasizing the importance of connecting through shared content. The rise of meme communication and AI-recommended content has transformed social media use, with users now focusing on sharing popular posts rather than personal updates.
The article also discusses the reasons behind this shift, including user fatigue with mundane updates and curated highlight reels. Instead of broadcasting to a wider audience, users are now opting for smaller group chats to freely share interesting updates. While the “Social Library” feature is still in testing and may not be released, it aligns with the evolving social media landscape focused on content sharing and connection.
