Then, search for a song, indicate the exact part you want to play and record the video while the track is playing in the background.

“It all” feature (Youre All Caught Up)

Instagram said it implemented the novelty after feedbacks from users who couldn't keep up with the most recent posts. So they wasted a lot of time looking at images from a few days ago that had probably already interacted.

The publications below the “This and everything” message correspond to posts already viewed or with more than two days of publication.

“Do Not Disturb” feature

In addition to the “You’re in Day” feature, Facebook is testing the “Do Not Disturb” mode, which allows the user to control the time spent with the services in order to make productivity even higher for the company's two major social networks, as disclosed by TechCrunch.

Those who work with Facebook or Instagram know that, many times, the notifications end up disturbing the concentration or even diverting attention for a few moments that can turn into a few minutes. With that in mind, “Do Not Disturb” allows users to block application notifications for a certain pre-selected period (30 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours, 8 hours or 1 day).

Like Apple, it appears that many other giants are also committed to the time that users remain connected to their respective services. Instagram CEO Kevin Systrom said the company is developing tools that help understand how the time people spend online impacts their lives.
