"Instagram stores your shared Instants in a private archive that you can see for up to one year. You can also compile Instants from your archive into a recap and post it to Instagram Stories. If you've accidentally shared an Instant, you can tap the "undo" button and delete an Instant from your archive to unsend it to friends who haven't opened it yet."
"The feature lets users share disappearing photos with their Close Friends or mutual followers that can be viewed only once and remain available for 24 hours. With Instants, you capture a photo with Instagram's in-app camera and aren't allowed to edit the image. The format doesn't allow uploads from your camera, and, although you can add text to your "instants," you can't modify them any further."
"You can capture an Instant by tapping the mini photo stack in the bottom right corner of your Instagram inbox. After you share your Instant, recipients can react with emojis, reply, and send an Instant back. Meta notes that recipients can't screenshot or record Instants that you've shared."
"If you don't want to receive Instants, you can hold down the pile of Instants in your inbox and swipe right to temporarily stop receiving them. You can also choose to block or mute specific people. Meta is also testing the Instants format as a standalone app in select regions, including Spain and Italy."
Instants is a new Instagram feature for sharing authentic photos that disappear after being viewed once and remain available for 24 hours. Photos are captured using Instagram’s in-app camera and cannot be edited, and uploads from a camera roll are not supported. Text can be added, but further modification is not allowed. Instants can be shared with Close Friends or mutual followers, and recipients can react with emojis, reply, and send an Instant back. Recipients cannot screenshot or record shared Instants. Shared Instants are stored in a private archive viewable for up to one year, can be compiled into a recap for Stories, and can be unsent using an undo option before recipients open them. Receiving can be paused, and specific people can be blocked or muted.
