 Top Future Trends for Instagram in   2021

 

You’ve got a decent understanding of Instagram in 2020: you know what’s hot, what’s not-so-hot – and everything in between. But how about for 2021?

Instagram, like the Internet at large, changes more than the weather. If it’s hard to keep up, here’s a quick and dirty lowdown on the burgeoning trends for 2021. Hold on to your profile pic – it’s going to be an influential ride.

Trend #1 – Can you say e-commerce?

Big surprise, Instagram is a popular place for sellers to hawk their wares.

No longer a place to innocently showcase cute doggie pics or perhaps grandpa’s collection of fine vintage hats, Instagram embraces commerce like a cheese plate at a wine party.

For the latest, check out Instagram Shop and Instagram Live Shopping – to reach your target customer with ease.

Trend #2 – There’s nothing better than live.

Along with the larger trend of video, live streaming has blazed a trail on Instagram.

Live streaming works in either audio or video and transmits as it’s recording. No take-backs here. You can let people know in-the-moment how you’re feeling about Covid 19 or what adventures you discovered during your latest foray into the world of vaping.

Everything from healthcare to e-commerce and marketing to retail … live streaming is not only predicted to be a trend, but very likely here to stay.

Trend #3 – Caption fever!

Want to get rid of your blog and stick to one, visual-oriented, up-to-the-minute social media platform?

You can.

Behold one of the biggest trends on Instagram – writing enormous, in-depth captions for each and every post. It’s all in the details as captions have ballooned, with it not being uncommon to see a post 550 words, or more.

Yep.

Got a burning opinion on a hot topic? Want to share your latest superfluous poem? Go ahead and post it on Instagram.

No longer just for photo and videoing sharing, Instagram is a place where long-winded writers can go kamikaze.

We are sure to see many more trends for a ever-dynamic platform such as Instagram, but these are just a few that should keep you in the loop for 2021.
