What is an Instagram collab?
Instagram released the collaboration function in October 2021 and it is quickly growing in popularity. This function allows creators and brands to co-author feed posts and reels on Instagram. These posts will have the usernames of both collaborators at the header and will appear on both profiles, thus, sharing likes, comments, and views. Collaborations can be used irregardless of audience size, allowing up to 20 collaborators.
Instagram collaborations are quickly rising in popularity, and it is time to start implementing them into your brand!
