Meta Expands Instagram Chat Feature to 250 Users
Instagram is testing a new Community Chat feature that enables up to 250 people in a group, allowing users to form chats around specific topics and share messages. The feature includes built-in moderation tools for admins and moderators, enabling them to remove messages or members to keep the channel safe. Additionally, Meta will review Community Chats against its Community Standards.
- This expansion of Instagram's chat capabilities mirrors other social media platforms' features, such as TikTok's group chats, which are increasingly becoming essential for user engagement.
- Will the introduction of this feature lead to more fragmentation in the social media landscape, with users forced to switch between apps for different types of conversations?
