1. Hi-Res GIF In Stories
Since the introduction of GIF in Instagram stories, a large majority of Android smartphone users faced the issue of degraded photo and video quality. The issue occurred once a GIF was added to the story. Instagram fixed the issue with a few updates, but the quality still degrades to a certain extent. One of the new features we can expect is a support to high-resolution GIF In stories. This will completely resolve the above-mentioned issue.
2. Search Bar In Settings Page
Instagram has added many new features over the years. As a result, the settings for these features have also increased. Locating a specific setting has become fairly difficult now. So, Instagram may introduce a search bar in the Settings Page. Using the search bar users can easily search and locate the settings they want to modify. It’s similar to the search bar we have in our phone’s settings.

4. IGTV In News Feed
Next major update about IGTV may be its inclusion directly in the news or explore feed of users. This will help users who are uploading IGTV videos gain additional exposure. Furthermore, a user will more likely follow and continue watching the content on IGTV based on his preference.
