Instagram’s new ‘type mode’ lets you add text-only pages to your stories Instagram Adds Text-Only Feature to Stories Instagram just added a new tool that users have been craving for years
We have decided to continue to release some important details about the Instagram development, and, after presenting the new Screenshot/video capture notifications for stories, today we’re ready to talk about a new feature.
At present, the Instagram team is internally working to implement in the application the possibility to video call other users.
A new icon will appear in the navigation bar in the chat, as it happens in WhatsApp:

The feature will be immediately accessible once the user opens an active chat
with another one: this means you will be able to video call only if the
other user has already accepted the request to chat, otherwise the icon
won’t appear.
Tapping on that icon, the video call will start. Instagram hasn’t
actually implement other UI elements for the video call (so there’s not
much to publish) and for this reason we should wait more to see this
feature enabled.
This feature is under development, so it’s normal that you don’t see it
updating your Instagram app: it will be enabled in next months, and it
will be available both on iOS and Android platforms.
