1. Instagram AMA format could be adding an AMA feature

Instagram is finally giving us a way to connect directly with fans and audiences via the tried-and-true AMA format. Leaked by Alessandro Paluzzi, it’s still unclear how the feature will function – but we know it will appear as gray text on your profile bio with the prompt “Ask Me Anything.” Given the popularity of the Q&A format in stories, it’s not surprising Instagram would take this feature to profiles. We’ll keep you posted on if (when) it rolls out officially.

Some Stories are only meant for people that you know personally, but even so, it’s been notoriously difficult for users to obtain that level of following-to-follower privacy on Instagram.
