The new Series feature will help the creator to get better engagements with their audience and promoting their brand by providing a dedicated label. The viewers can get notification by tapping the icon appeared on screen in order to get notified for the next coming episode.
Key Features:
- Continuous Watching
- Branding of Series
- IGTV Notification
Reason:
- IGTV has never been shown success but Instagram’s strong promoting powers always try to boost the exposure of the IGTV content.
- Snapchat is over covering IGTV through its original program, therefore in order to beat Snapchat Instagram will boost IGTV up to any cost.
