Instagram has introduced a new \u201cRage Shake\u201d feature that lets users shake their phones to report a problem with the app. Instagram head Adam Mosseri announced the launch of the new feature in a video on Twitter and explained how it works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou ever use Instagram and it wasn\u2019t working like it was supposed to? Maybe Stories didn\u2019t load, maybe the audio wasn\u2019t working, maybe you just couldn\u2019t upload a photo and it was just really getting you, really just pissing you off? Now, you can literally shake the phone and a little option will come up that allows you to report a problem,\u201d Mosseri said in the video.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Once you shake to report, you can explain what happened with the app and report the issue. Mosseri says this will help the company prioritize bugs and learn about other things to fix in the app. For now, the feature is only available in the U.S. for both iOS and Android users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The social media giant is also rolling out the ability to delete single items from a carousel post with at least three images or videos. For context, carousel feed posts can combine up to 10 photos and videos in one post. With this latest update, you can delete items from an existing carousel. It\u2019s worth noting that you can\u2019t add to the carousel, replace one item for another or reorder items in the carousel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mosseri says this new option should have been rolled out a while ago and that it was a highly requested feature. The social media giant notes that sometimes users have made a mistake, no longer want a certain photo on their grid but still want to keep the overall carousel, or they just want to change things up with a certain post.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To remove an image or a video from a carousel, you have to tap on the three dots in the right-hand corner of a post and then select \u201cedit.\u201d Then, you can swipe to the photo or image you want to get rid of and click the \u201cdelete\u201d icon in the top-left corner. The new feature is currently only available on iOS, with support for Android coming soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
These two new launches come as Instagram has been introducing several new features over the past few weeks. Last week, it began testing a new feature called\u00a0\u201cTake a Break,\u201d\u00a0which allows users to remind themselves to take a break from Instagram after either 10, 20 or 30 minutes. The social media giant also recently rolled out a new\u00a0\u201cAdd Yours\u201d sticker\u00a0that creates public threads in Stories. The new feature allows users to respond to other users\u2019 Stories with their own following a prompt or a certain topic. | TechCrunch<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
