  Instagram is working on IG Candid Challenges, a feature inspired by @BeReal_App 👀 ℹ️ Add other's IG Candid to your story tray. And everyday at a different time, get a notification to capture and share a Photo in 2 Minutes.

  This company will not rest until it's cloned every feature on every app https://twitter.com/...

  I would just like to see pictures from people I ACTUALLY care about in an order vaguely consistent with horological accuracy I just want the OPTION of that https://twitter.com/...

  At this point, being copied by Instagram is the ultimate validation data point for any new-ish social media app. If you can't create relevance, you copy it. https://twitter.com/...

  Instagram used to do one thing well. Now it does 500 things poorly https://twitter.com/...

  Everyone mad that Instagram is copying BeReal with “Candid Challenges”...remember that BeReal copied FrontBack's photo format from 2013. Social is a flat circle. https://twitter.com/...

  They really have no shame. They're now trying to steal BeReal's thing. Instagram fucking sucks https://twitter.com/...

  RIP BeReal. Thanks for proving timed events are a viable platform feature, Meta will take it from here! https://twitter.com/...

  One of the consequences of “my startup is actually just a feature” is that it helps consolidate the tech industry while appearing to create or at least culture competition. https://twitter.com/...

  @FbBagholder I've said this before; Meta's real advantage is distribution (FB+IG+WhatsApp). Its competitors have to acquire new customers and build infra with skyrocketing cost for engineers. It's not as risky as perceived by most investors.

  An @instagram spokesperson confirmed to @engadget that the feature is an internal prototype, but declined to provide additional details 👇 https://twitter.com/...

  Can someone tell me if literally anyone on Instagram's product team has an original thought because this is ridiculous. Meta is on a path to become Yahoo. https://twitter.com/...
