Instagram is reportedly working on a new AI chatbot that may offer a more fun and engaging experience to its users.  As per the shared screenshot, ‘Chat with an AI’ is an upcoming feature that will allow users to talk to an AI chatbot.

The AI chatbot on Instagram will answer questions, give advice, and spice up your creativity. Interestingly, the chatbot will come with 30 AI personalities. Users can choose the one that they prefer and start chatting.

The AI chatbot will also apparently help users write messages and express themselves. Although not confirmed, users may also get the AI chatbot’s help in jotting down content ideas.

Unfortunately, it’s unclear when the AI chatbot will be public. That said, let’s wait for the same. We expect Meta to roll out the AI chatbot sometime later this year.

In other news related to Instagram, the app’s Stories icons have suddenly gotten bigger. This appears to be another small UI change that the app happens to get almost every other week.

While Instagram appears to be testing this new size for the Stories feature, not many users seem to have liked it. Here’s what some users said on Twitter.

“Did instagram get an update why are the story icons HUGE,” a user tweeted.

“Everytime instagram updates it becomes a progressively worse app because why are the story icons now MASSIVE,” another user wrote.

One more user said, “Whoever made the instagram story icons bigger, make them smaller again please. Also Stream schedule going up later today!”.

Some other user said, “Is it just me or has the Instagram story icon suddenly blown up in size ? It’s looks so disgusting now. Why is Instagram making changes that we don’t need”.
