Instagram Plus will cost $3.99 a month and feature Super Hearts, Story Spotlights and other niche tools to enhance the in-app experience
Instagram officially launched its new Instagram Plus add-on subscription package late last week, which includes a range of features designed to enhance the IG experience.
The initial Instagram Plus package is priced at $3.99 per month in the U.S. and includes 11 add-ons that offer varying functionality
As explained by Instagram: “Instagram Plus offers exclusive features to help you express yourself, connect deeper with friends, and customize your experience in new ways. The Instagram you know and love today isn’t changing and will always be free; this new subscription is simply an optional upgrade for people who want more control, deeper insights, and premium features.”
So what exactly does $4 bucks get users?
: Instagram Plus currently includes:
Story Spotlight – Story Spotlight ensures that a user’s story is displayed first in the Stories tray for their followers. The feature can be used once a week to give Stories a boost.
Super Hearts – New animated hearts which “burst across the screen to celebrate stories from friends,” per Instagram
Multiple Story Audiences – Create unlimited audience lists for Stories, beyond Close Friends.
Story Extend – Subscribers will be able to extend the life of their Story by 24 hours to maximize reach
Story Preview – Subscribers will be able to view other people’s Stories without the creator knowing that they’ve looked at it.
Story Rewatch Insights – Subscribers will be able to see how many times their Stories were rewatched.
Search Viewer List – The capacity to search the Stories viewer list to see if a specific person checked out a Story.
Custom App Icon – Alternate IG app icons, including a selection of options designed by Instagram and Instagram creators.
Custom Bio Font – The option to use a different font in the profile bio section “to match your style,” per Instagram.
More Profile Pins – Subscribers will be able to pin up to 6 posts to their profile grid.
Post Directly to Profile – Subscribers will be able to post to their profile or highlights without it appearing in their followers’ feeds.
So that’s the current Instagram Plus package. IG also said it will be looking to add more features to the offering over the coming months
Like other subscription tools, those will probably include experimental features, with subscribers to get first access as Instagram’s team assesses whether any new offerings would be of value to all users
