The Dual Camera Option
Instagram recently released the 'Dual Camera' option, enabling users to simultaneously record and capture videos and photos with both the front and rear cameras.
The New Roll Out
As per the latest reports, the Meta-owned social media site will soon roll out another feature named 'Candid Challenges.'
Instagram Candid Challenge Feature: What Is It?
Instagram's "Candid Challenge" feature will allow users to share their candid images on the photo-sharing platform. Users following the Candid Challenge will receive a notification from the app at a set time every day to capture and upload their candid photo or video.
About The Two-Minute Window
The two-minute window will let users capture themselves from both the front and rear cameras and share what they are doing at that time. The snapped image or video will show in the story tray of the app. The feature is currently an internal prototype.
About The Sound Of The New Feature
The new feature sounds familiar to "BeReal," a French social media app released in 2020. The app also asks users to take their candid pictures every day for a set period of time. The app asks users to upload their selfies within 2-minutes of receiving the prompt.
The Viral Tweet About The New Feature
Alessandro Paluzzi, a tech researcher, tweeted about the new feature and said, "Instagram is working on IG Candid Challenges, a feature inspired by BeReal App. Add another IG Candid to your story tray. And every day at a different time, get a notification to capture and share a Photo in 2 Minutes."
