Guides offered an alternate show format, enabling creators and types to share explainers and picture collections, accompanied by quick textual content descriptions. Guides are additionally in a position to be shared by way of Tales, which supplies one other strategy to drive engagement.
However evidently, they haven’t confirmed common, and Instagram’s determined to finish assist for the choice, with Collections offering a lesser alternative.
