Instagram is developing a new feature that will automatically translate captions for Reels and videos on the app, a feature that will help content creators reach more users while they discover more content in languages they don’t speak.
This feature was discovered by Alessandro Paluzzi, a well-known leaker, who shared the news through his X account, where he gave the details of this development, which for now is not officially on the social network.
How Instagram caption translation works
This feature aims to improve the user experience, especially for those who are hearing impaired or do not understand the language in which the content is provided.
Automatic subtitle translation will be enabled via the ‘Show subtitles’ option, allowing Reels and videos to automatically generate translated text.
Instagram already offers automatically generated captions, but this feature is limited to the English language. The new feature seeks to expand this capability to multiple languages, following the example of other popular platforms such as TikTok.
The development of this tool highlights the effort that the social network is making to improve its video content, which is currently the most consumed by users. Paluzzi assures that this option could arrive together with other new features already announced, such as backgrounds generated by artificial intelligence for stories and the introduction of video notes.
Another notable feature of this potential update is the ability to zoom in on profile photos using the pinch-to-zoom gesture. While Instagram already allows users to enlarge profile photos, the ability to zoom would offer users a more interactive and detailed experience when browsing profiles.
Instagram’s strategy for videos
Meta has made it clear that the platform’s primary focus is on video content. The strategy seeks to capitalize on the growing trend of users toward online video viewing.
According to the company’s most recent financial report, Instagram contributed significantly to the company’s total revenue, generating a total of $51.4 billion in 2022, accounting for 45% of the company’s revenue during that period.
An example of the intention to improve the creation tools for Reels is the inclusion of audio clips from movies and series in Reels, a feature that was added in November and has allowed users to have more viral options on the platform.
How to delete a Threads account without losing your Instagram account
Previously, deleting a profile on Threads also meant deleting the associated Instagram account, which sparked a wave of discontent among users.
Now, in addition to deleting, it has provided the option to temporarily deactivate the profile, hiding the user’s content on the platform without deleting the account and avoiding losing followers, posts and interactions.
The process to delete or deactivate profiles on the platform is simple and only requires:
– Access the application from Android or iPhone devices, or through the official website.
– Click on the profile icon located in the lower right corner of the screen.
– Select the dash menu where the Settings section is located.
– Tap on the Account option and then click on Deactivate or delete profile.
– A menu will appear explaining that deactivation is temporary, while deletion is permanent. Select one of the two options.
– If you select Delete Profile, you will be asked for your Instagram password to verify your identity before proceeding.
– If you click on Deactivate profile, you will only need to confirm the action.
