HELP! Accidentally Liked an Old Instagram Post! What happens when I unlike it?

from The Instagram Stories - Social Media News · host Daniel Hill

Have you ever experienced the situation when you accidentally like an old Instagram post someone made? If you unlike it immediately, will they know? The Head of Instagram explains the difference between how phone notifications work vs. Instagram in-app notifications. Also, I share my favorite takeaway from the Creator Economy Live event for when an Instagram post flops, the Edits team adds the ability to share directly to Stories, and the musical artist Sombr shares his songwriting process where he only writes song snippets to see what performs well before writing the rest of the song.   Links: Instagram: What happens when you like someone's old Instagram post?
