Instagram is prototyping a new “Social Library” section in the app where you can easily access things shared in chat threads, your collections, and posts you’ve liked. The feature was spotted by developer and leaker Alessandro Paluzzi.
Judging from the looks of the screenshot from Paluzzi, the section will contain posts, Reels, and other media you’ve shared or received in chat threads as well as content you’ve liked or saved. A magnifying glass in the corner of the screenshot suggests this content will be searchable, too, which could make it a lot easier to quickly find a Reel or post you’re looking for.
That said, work on this seems early, and it’s not clear if it’s something Meta might actually launch it to the public. “This is an internal prototype and is currently not testing externally,” Meta’s Christine Pai tells The Verge.
Paluzzi also recently spotted that Instagram might let you share your Instagram comments as posts on Threads.
Update, October 17th: Added comment from Meta.
