In a video, Mosseri explained the new Instagram features and said: “You should get more credit than if you are re-sharing something that you found from someone else. We’re going to try and do more to try and value original content more, particularly compared to reposted content.” The Meta-owned photo-sharing platform was quoted as saying by TechCrunch that it is tweaking its algorithm in order to make sure that original content is prioritised for distribution instead of reposted content from TikTok.

Meanwhile, earlier this week, Instagram, in a blog post, explained how to add product tags. The company explained: When creating a post, use the tagging feature to tag a brand then specify a product. When someone taps on your product tag on your published Feed post, they’ll be able to get detailed information about the product through a product detail page on Instagram and then can purchase the product directly in-app or through the brand’s product detail page.
