All these from creators subscribers will be on their feed with a badge. And also, there’s a new tab on the creator’s profile page where subscribers can access all the exclusive content, including posts, reels, and past live streams. There is one more exciting feature, Subscriber chats, where the creator can chat with his subscribers, and it is like a community, so all chat members will also be able to chat with other subscribers. And this group chat only allows up to 30 people, and the chat will only be available for 24 hours so that creators can manage to interact with the community. In the beginning, Instagram was testing this feature only in the US for limited creators, but now eligible creators can use this feature. Still, it is limited to the US, and soon we could see it expanding to other regions such as India, Europe, and the Philippines. Even though this feature is under testing, there is no restriction on the number of people who can subscribe to the creator.
