Instagram wants to add “Remembering” label to deceased users’ pages
The feature is still being tested.
Instagram is testing a new feature that allows marking the profile of a deceased person. This was reported by Instagram PR director Lisa Crenshaw, BuzzFeed News reports.
“We have been working on the update for some time. At the moment, the process has accelerated due to the spread of COVID-19, in order to support society during this difficult time,” — Crenshaw said.
This feature will allow the account to be preserved, but with a Remembering label under the username.
On Instagram’s help centre page, an explanation has appeared stating that it will not be possible to log into the account of a deceased person, and it will be left in the same form the owner left it.
Tester and blogger Jane Manchun Wong has already shown what the update may look like.
Information about the launch date of the feature or other details has not yet been disclosed.
Earlier, Instagram removed all augmented reality effects that claim to “diagnose or treat” coronavirus.
