Instagram is creating a new feature to go head-to-head with one of its rival apps

Social media giant, Instagram is set to release its new feature dubber “IG Candid Challenges.”

The concept of “Be Real” encourages users to capture unfiltered and authentic photos of their lives, within a two minute time frame.

The popular app sends users a prompt and encourages them to snapshot what they’re up to at that very moment.

“Be Real” has gained global attention with 43.4 million downloads.

Now, Instagram wants in on the action and will use its new feature to encourage users to share photos to their stories within just two minutes.

Instagram will test the feature internally first, before being released to its users.

While the fate of TikTok remains uncertain in the U.S.—there is no shortage of possibilities.

Several investors are hoping to benefit from a new federal law that requires TikTok’s China-based parent company to sell the popular platform or face a ban.

This comes after ByteDance and TikTok filed a lawsuit against the U.S. government to block the law from going into effect.

Meanwhile, eight TikTok creators filed their own challenge, arguing the law violates their First Amendment rights to free speech.

But as the saga continues many media outlets are defending the platform.
