The feature was spotted by developer Alessandro Paluzzi. One of the screenshots shared by the developer confirmed that the \u201cBonuses\u201d option will not be available for regular users. The screenshots also suggested that the creators will get paid whenever they upload new Reels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instagram also recently <a class=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/2021\/06\/30\/instagram-is-developing-its-own-version-of-twitters-super-follow-with-exclusive-stories\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">confirmed<\/a>\u00a0that it\u2019s experimenting with a feature that would allow popular users to publish content to their Stories that\u2019s only available to paying fans.

However, with other similar social media platforms coming up with similar ideas, the feature could help Instagram compete. For now, almost every social media platform is now offering creators the opportunity to make money from their work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Read About: <a href=\"https:\/\/techrafiki.com\/paytota-uganda-bridging-financial-inclusion-gaps\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">PayTota Uganda: Bridging the financial inclusion gaps<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Instagram privacy initiatives<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The company has also announced that it is bringing new protections for teenage users by defaulting them into private accounts to make it harder for potentially suspicious accounts to find young users on the platform. So, everyone who is under 16 years old (or under 18 in certain countries) will be defaulted into a private account when they join Instagram.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The platform is also limiting the options advertisers have to reach young people with ads. In a few weeks, Instagram will only allow advertisers to target ads to people under 18 (or older in certain countries) based on their age, gender, and location.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/techrafiki.com\/women-owned-businesses-in-the-e-commerce-sector\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Read About: Boosting women-owned businesses in the e-commerce sector could drive value up to $15 billion<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Instagram has expanded the length of the Reels, so users will be able to make longer videos.
