Instagram launches new special feature on Valentine's Day, know about it

In celebration of Valentine's Day, Instagram, a social media platform owned by Meta, has unveiled a unique feature. We refer to these new Instagram features as hidden features. Apps for iOS and Android can both make use of these features. The web version will not have support for it.

Two of these features are available in Instagram Stories and the notes section of the direct message page. A heart animation feature is available with Stories. This will show up when you bring someone up.

If you use keywords like “Happy Valentine's Day”, “Happy Vday” or “Vday” on Instagram, you will see the DM option along with notes. The same effect will be seen on tapping on any word of Valentine's Day.

Heart animated emoji is seen with @mention stickers. Currently, only a few users have both these features. Its update for others is being released gradually.

Before this Instagram has introduced many Artificial Intelligence (AI) based features. Instagram is also working on an AI message-writing feature, after which you will be able to write messages in style.
