Once in a while Facebook likes to try new things through their applications Not only through his social network, but also on the acquired Instagram Something useful to test the reaction of the users and the operation of new functions and characteristics It is thus, through fleeting oversights, how some of its novelties andhave become known new applications Issue that has happened again recently on Instagram and that could be related to a new app on the way.
This is a banner or advertisement that some users of Instagram on the platform Android have met fleetingly during yesterday. An advertisement referring to the application Bolt, an alleged messaging tool that sends photos with a single touch of the screen. However, when clicking on said ad, the users who discovered the banner only accessed a page of the Google Play store that did not exist. A roadblock that has raised suspicions about what Facebook could be testing.
Apparently, rumors suggest that Facebook could be creating a new messaging application focused on sending photos quickly and directly Something that doesn't quite come together after the recent release of Slingshot, or counting Instagram with a direct messaging service called Instagram DirectHowever, based on rumors and leaks, it would be an independent application.
It is not the first time that Facebook misses an application ahead of time. It already happened with Slingshot when he published the tool before it was officially announced and in a ephemeral Something who ended up discovering the cake that Facebook was preparing and confirming all suspicions about the creation of a true competitor of Snapchat , the message application that self-destructs after a while. However, there is another line of thought about this suspicious banner advertising.
Thus, from the middle TechCrunch they suggest that this banner would be a simple experiment by Facebook to test a system on Instagram. In this way, the supposed messaging application Bolt would be nothing more than a fictitious tool created to see what this advert would look like in a limited number of walls of the photography social network. And it is that, although Instagram has begun to show ads, they could be looking for a new formula to monetize the application , being this type of banners a proof of what could be to come.
At the moment there has been no pronouncement from Instagram or Facebook , so we only have to wait to see if these announcements are repeated or the publication of this supposed new application called Bolt is confirmed. At the moment there are only the images that some users were able to capture of this ad on their Instagram applications, either a previous leak from a messaging application that is just around the corner , or a system to achieve economic profitability through the social network of photography and filters.
