Meta has introduced new features in the Broadcast Channels of Instagram, providing creators and their followers a two-way communication channel. Until now, these channels allowed users to react only with emojis to creators’ posts, limiting communication to one way. With this update, creators can enable replies to their posts and allow users to interact with each other.

Additionally, the possibility of launching questions or topics to start conversations within the channel is included. This question functionality allows followers to respond within 24 hours with text or photos, promoting a more dynamic and creative exchange. Furthermore, Meta has added metrics for creators to analyze the performance of their channels; with these statistics, the platform will offer personalized suggestions, such as posting behind-the-scenes content or increasing the frequency of posts, to encourage user engagement.

Launched last year, Broadcast Channels were initially designed for creators to share public messages with their followers without the overload of responses. However, these improvements bring the experience closer to that of an organized comment section, as responses are grouped under each main message. Creators will have control over these options, and can decide whether to activate them or not in their channel settings.
