💟 Stories Highlights may change their shape
Instagram is 🧑💻 working on a redesign of the Story Highlights, and instead of small circles, the Cover of the Highlights may look like large, tightly placed Cards
The Card format will increase the emphasis and value of the Cover of the Highlight, as well as visually increase the space that Highlights take up on the Profile
🤔 However, this creates another problem, as the default size of the Highlight Cover is 150×150, this image is additionally cropped to a ratio of ~7:10, and the output is a blurry picture of ~105×150
Instagram does not yet provide for the option to set the Cover in the new size 💁♂️, which will probably depend on whether this redesign is widely implemented after the results of testing this redesign

💾 Saved tab on your profile
Instagram is 🧑💻 considering the ability to show a tab with your Saved Collections directly on your Profile
The Saved tab will be placed among other public tabs — but remaining a note that the Saved tab is only visible to you
🧐 The interface is built as a usual entry to the Saved category, when you select a collection, the default Saved interface is opened, post tiles will not be shown on the profile interface as you might think or expect

🔔 Notify Sticker in Stories
Instagram is 🧑💻 working on a new sticker for Stories called «🔔 NOTIFY»
🤳 Content creators will be able to use this sticker in Stories to remind their followers to enable the option to receive notifications when the creator shares any content
In this way, Instagram wants to help content creators 📈 increase the reach and engagement of their content, but the decision to enable or not to enable notifications stays with the follower
🤔 At this point, there is no clue what will be shown when the viewer taps on the sticker, but most likely the sticker will open the same interface with the option to enable notifications as on the profile of the user you follow

🧑🎨 Instagram is working on the redesign of the Stickers appearance on the Stories Stickers Gallery
As opposed to placing the Stickers in a fixed grid, the new design has them in a bunch and in a slightly chaotic way
The stickers on the gallery have been redrawn, they are smaller, more rounded, with a gradient fill and a new font with lowercase letters
☝️However, when you add a sticker, not all of them have a new design yet, from what we have:
• By default, stickers are smaller
• All styles have more rounded corners
• Icons in stickers with a fill have been swapped for outline
• The most noticeable changes are in the first three styles, they have a new font with lowercase letters
• The main style has black text by default
ℹ️ About the Font: Both variants use the Instagram Branded Font
On the new design, it's
The current one is more flattened, the new one is wider, you can clearly differentiate them by the @ symbol

🧑💻 Here's a little insight into how I manage to find new instagram features. If you think I work there, or I get leaked apk, this is not the case, everything is much simple
• The first task: getting access to the developer's settings — instagram employees use them to test new features

🖼 Instagram is working on a redesign of the chat theme picker in Direct
Currently, theme picker sheet looks like a list of theme titles with their tiny round thumbnails
💫 New theme picker design is more accentuated on the theme thumbnail (looks like an entire movie poster). The theme thumbnails have a form of large cards with a small caption of the theme title
🤷♂️ The only thing is that the current thumbnails were designed for a small round image, which makes some cards look a bit blurry in the new design
