“We’re excited to see what the community will bring to video, whether it’s your local cafe showing you just how they made your latte art]this morning or an Instagrammer on the other side of the world taking you on a tour of their city, a mother sharing her joys in parenting as her children laugh and play or your favorite athlete taking you behind the scenes.”
Instagram is also quick to note that the photo function of their application has not changed and users can still enjoy sharing their images with followers.
