Instagram previous developments

In September 2022, Instagram launched its digital collection feature in 100 countries, which allows users to connect to their digital accounts and display NFTs purchased or created by them. These connected NFTs can be displayed in the user’s feed, and they include a glowing effect for a real token.

In August 2022, Meta will allow both users on Instagram and Facebook to link their NFT posts on domestic social media platforms.
