There is no doubt that social networks take up many hours of our day, to such an extent that many people are addicted to smartphones because of them.
However, we do not deny that they can be very useful not only to share all our thoughts, experiences or photographs we take with our followers, but also to advertise our business, just to name a few.
Instagram is one of the most popular and used social networks.
Of all social networks, Instagram is perhaps the most popular today. This social network has many uses and although its operation is really simple, making the most of it requires many hours of practice.
Today we are going to show you some Instagram features that many users don't know about and that you need to sincerely try as they can be really interesting when you use the social network.
Cancel sending messages
In addition to being able to share our photographs, Instagram also allows us to send chats to our acquaintances or other users as if it were an instant messaging app. For all this it is possible that at some point we regretted something we said or simply we have the wrong conversation.
Fortunately, Instagram allows us to delete messages from a chat. We just have to press and hold what we want to delete and select "Cancel delivery". This will make the chat disappear and our contact will see that we have deleted part of the conversation.
Limit the time you use the app
Instagram has a lot of features that many users are unaware of
He is entering Instagram and time flies. Hours and hours of looking at photos, stories and content. This in a timely manner is not a problem, but when you spend hours and hours on Instagram every day ... you already have to worry.
Fortunately, the app itself has a feature that warns us to leave the phone and start doing other useful things.
We just have to enter our profile, click on the menu of the three lines, click on Your activity, Schedule and Daily reminder schedule.
Look at the publications we liked
In a social network like Instagram, the most normal thing is that we consult - and we are only interested in - the likes we have received. This is as simple as clicking on the heart at the top of the app where we will see all our notifications received quickly and easily.
Ma what if we want to see the likes we have given to other contacts? Well, you can do that too, although the option is a little more hidden.
We will enter the profile again, we will again click on the three lines, Settings, Accounts and Publications that you liked.
Restrict users without blocking them
Many times you would like to block users on Instagram but you can't. This is the case of your boss, your mother-in-law or an acquaintance you don't like very much but who would take the block very badly.
The "Restrict" option works like a block but in a "lighter" way. Thanks to her we will stop seeing the publications he does and we will be really calm since we will stop seeing him at all hours on our Instagram. Fortunately, the limited user will never know that we have blacklisted them.
Hide stories
Instagram has hundreds of possibilities
Following the previous feature, it is possible that you are crazy about Instagram Stories but It's also possible that you don't want some of your users to see them, either for privacy or simply because you don't want your parents to know you are playing letters in the cafeteria instead of going to class.
Because of this:
- We enter the our profile
- We touch the button with the three stripes and click on Settings
- Privacy and then Story
Once this point is reached, we can select the people we want to hide your stories from. If after a while you regret it, you will just have to repeat the same steps and remove the person from the list.
