As the months went by, the initiative began to take shape Instagram subscriptions which, apparently, will present three access options different: subscriber lives, subscriber stories and subscriber badges.
The first is a way of seeing live video that subscribers have access towhich differ from the other contents because they are surrounded by a purple circle.
Instead, there are exclusive stories through which subscribers can interact with creators using specific stickers.
Finally, the third option allows content creators identify your subscribers with an icon also in purple when commenting on their “feed” posts.
After expanding access to Instagram subscriptions to more members of its community in the United States and to collect comments from users who have tried this mode, the company has announced new features aimed at the followers of content creators.
While it is true that at first subscribers could see Stories that the rest of the users of the social network did not have access to, now they will also be able to enjoy content created exclusively for them in the profile of each content creator.

On the other hand, Meta has introduced in this payment option a new form of communication intended for content creators, who will be able to interact in a different way with the community of subscribers to the platform.
From now on it is possible create chats with up to 30 subscribers using Messenger technology, from the inbox of this application or from a Story that has the “Join the chat” button integrated.
Subscribers can join chats from a new “join chat” sticker from their story, similar to the signup sticker that Instagram launched earlier this year. This link will be available in both subscribers and regular stories, allowing existing subscribers to join chat directly, while followers can easily tap to subscribe.
Who decides to use the messenger message box they will find a new memberships tab that will allow them to organize and manage chats with their profile followers.
