Instants is a new way to share quick, unedited moments with friends that disappear after they’re seen. Tap the stack of photos in your DM inbox to try it out, and let me know what you think.
Last night’s MET Gala put the creative process on equal footing with the final look. I was so excited to wear @kartikresearch , a young Delhi-based designer whose artisans hand embroidered this beautiful look.
Our creator watch party was a highlight of the night - it was great to spend the evening alongside so many incredible creatives.

Original creators deserve to be rewarded for their work, not compete with accounts that simply re-upload it. Over the next month, we’re expanding a policy we already have for Reels to cover photos and carousels too: if you mostly share content from others that you didn’t make or meaningfully edit, your account won’t be recommended to people who don’t follow you.
You can check your Account Status anytime to see where you stand or to appeal. Link in bio for more on these changes.
Spotlight: @noizebro uses a mix of engineering and art to create pieces that reimagine public spaces. It’s smart, visually stunning work - give him a follow.
It’s been a year since we launched Edits to help creators with the entire creative process, from first thought to final post. We’ve launched over 130 features since then, but there’s still a lot of work to do. Keep the feedback coming, it’s shaping what we build next. More to come soon.
