Instagram will now allow users to connect to their friends and family in new ways through the app. There were reports that the service might add a video chat feature to the app and that’s precisely what it has announced today. Instagram video chat is going to go live in the next few weeks, the Facebook-owned company has confirmed today.
Instagram says that more than 100 million users watch or share video on Live every single day and that the community wanted the company to enable them to experience real-time video in a smaller group. That’s why in the coming weeks, the video chat functionality will be rolled out to Instagram. This will give friends a new way to interact with each other in Instagram.
There’s going to be a new camera icon at the top of a Direct thread which when tapped will start the video chat. Users can chat one-on-one with another user or with a small group and they can keep the conversation going for as long as they want. It’s even going to be possible to minimize the video and continue the chat even as they browse Instagram or upload new stuff to their feed and story.
Instagram is currently testing out the video chat feature and will roll it out globally in the coming weeks.

The first standalone virtual reality headset from Facebook-owned Oculus is finally available for purchase today. The Oculus Go headset has been officially launched today and it’s now available for purchase in 23 countries across the globe. Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg says that the Oculus Go headset is the “easiest way to get into VR.”
The Oculus Go is a standalone virtual reality headset which means that it all of the components that it needs to function are contained within the headset itself. Users don’t need a PC or a phone to jump into VR. They can just put on the headset and immerse themselves in a VR experience.
The Oculus Go has a 538ppi 2560 x 1440 WQHD LCD display with built-in spatial audio and an integrated microphone. The accompanying straps and facial interface have all been designed with maximum comfort in mind.
Since the Oculus Go is binary compatible with the Gear VR, Samsung’s mobile VR headset that sources its software platform from Oculus, users will find more than 1,000 VR games, apps, and experiences already available for the Oculus Go.
It’s available for purchase in 23 countries across the globe starting today through oculus.com. The base model with 32GB of storage costs $199, those who want more storage can spend $249 on the 64GB model.

Instagram introduced its comment filter last year to enable users to automatically prevent toxic comments from being posted on their photos. The company today announced that it’s expanding the scope of this filter to clamp down on bullying comments. This move will certainly be much appreciated by many as online bullying still persists and doesn’t show any signs of going away anytime soon.
Instagram says that starting today, it’s going to filter bullying comments “intended to harass or upset people” in its community. It has reiterated that bullying will not be tolerated on Instagram.
The new filter is going to automatically hide comments that contain attacks on a person’s appearance or character. Comments that include threats to their well-being or health will be hidden as well.
Instagram says that the bullying filter will be on for all users across the globe and those who want to disable it can do so in the Comments Controls center in the app. Users should keep in mind, though, that the filter is only going to be available for comments in the English language for now. Instagram will eventually upgrade it to support other languages as well but for now, any and all bullying comments made in English will automatically be hidden.
