It won't be an exaggeration if we say that Instagram is working on improving the user experience with a lot of new features both to its interface and Stories. We say so as the company is testing many new features in the recent times those might be rolled out to all the users in the near future. A few days back, Instagram came up with the ability to add GIF stickers to Stories and Activity Status features.

Now, it looks like it is testing a new feature called Profile Visits. This feature will tell you how many times other users have visited your profile in one week. Many users of Instagram were using third-party apps to know about profile visitors.

The Profile Visits feature was spotted by a Twitter user Matt Navarra and he has also shared a screenshot showing the total profile visits in seven days displayed at the top right of the page. While it shows you the number of times your profile has been viewed in one week, it does not tell you who the visitors are. From the screenshot, you can see that there are 133 profile visits in the last seven days.

It looks like this feature is still under testing and is available only for select users. We can expect this feature to be rolled out to all the users of Instagram in the coming weeks. Also, we can expect the company to roll out the ability to check the users who have visited their profile as well in the future.

Apart from the above-mentioned GIF Stickers in Stories, Instagram is also testing a text-only form in Stories. This feature lets you post text messages against colorful gradient backdrops as your Instagram Stories. The option gives you the ability to play around with image and color gradients.

Apart from this, the company is also testing a new screenshot notifications feature. This feature that is under testing will notify you if any other user takes a screenshot of your Instagram Story. Notably, the feature will let go of the person with a warning the first time your Story is captured. It is only at the second time that you will be alerted.
