Instagram is globally launching Broadcast Channels to millions of creators, along with the announcement of new features.

Earlier this year, Instagram introduced and launched Broadcast Channels. Initially accessible to a limited number of creators, Broadcast Channels offer a one-to-many messaging feature. It allows creators to update their followers in a direct message (DM)-like interface.

Broadcast Channels function similarly to group chats, where only one party can send messages comprising text, photos, videos, voice notes, and polls. Followers can react to messages and participate in polls by voting.

In addition to the global rollout of Broadcast Channels to creators, Instagram has announced several new updates for the feature:

1. Questions:

Similar to Instagram Stories, creators can now ask questions to their followers. Instagram gathers these responses in one place, allowing creators to browse and reply to specific questions.

2. Channels Tab in Inbox:

Instagram is introducing a dedicated tab within the inbox for all joined Broadcast Channels. This tab will also offer the ability to search and discover suggested channels based on users’ interests, interactions, and activity on Instagram.

3. Collaborators:

Creators now have the option to invite other creators or fans to participate in their Broadcast Channels. This feature is particularly useful for conducting interviews or hangouts.

4. Moderators:

Moderators have been introduced to manage members, messages, and invite links within the Broadcast Channels. This allows the creator to focus on engaging with their fans while moderators handle the administrative tasks.

5. Expiring Channels:

Temporary channels can now be created by setting an expiry date and time. This feature enables the creation of channels for specific time-limited events or promotions.

6. Share to Stories:

Creators can promote their Broadcast Channels by sharing messages from their channels directly to their Stories. This feature complements the existing “Join channel” sticker, providing additional ways to engage followers and expand channel reach.

Instagram's adoption of the one-way broadcast feature, inspired by Telegram, marks a significant step in enhancing communication and engagement within the platform.

What do you think about this article?

Creators have the ability to initiate a Broadcast Channel directly within their Instagram inbox. Once the initial message is sent, followers will receive a one-time notification inviting them to join the channel.

If they choose to join, they will subsequently receive push notifications whenever the host posts new content. Channels can be pinned to the top of the creator’s profile for easy access by followers.
