Instagram now sends you emails with photos if you uninstall its app
The photography social network is giving a wake-up call to those users who have shifted to a more relaxed attitude. And the thing is that Instagram is getting older and doesn't want to lose its classic followers because of it. So, he's started sending emails to some of those who have uninstalled the app or stopped using it to remind them of all they're missingA good way to try to reconnect with them and maybe take even those who no longer visit your profile.
The fact has been confirmed by the media outlet TechCrunch, to whom Instagram has claimed to have started sending this type of email. Of course it is not the first time it has been done, reminding the social networks Facebook and Twitterand its different notices to find out what is taking place in each one of them without the presence of the user. But it is the first time that Instagram uses one of these resources. A possible indicator of exhaustion or, perhaps, of maturity of a social network that is already more than four years old.
This function is called Highlights or destacados in Spanish. It is neither more nor less than a email that collects the best photos of the people who are followed on InstagramSomething like the most outstanding publications that the user has missed by not visiting the photography social network A good reminder to know what is cooking on your wall and, perhaps, make you feel that aftertaste for reinstalling the application or visiting it again.
The thing is, according to Techcrunch, the feature was rolled out so quickly and unexpectedly that there is no way to deactivate it if you do not want to receive more emails from Instagram. Nor is there the option to subscribe to be informed by mail instead of periodically visiting the application, if you want this type of newsletter instead of consulting actively Instagram. Issues that will hopefully end up being polished and improved
It is also up for debate whether this type of Instagram promotion will not include . A good excuse to send the user brand images that, even with aesthetic values, send your brand or product image directly to the user's inbox . A good way to ensure the impact of those who have not visited the photography social network for a long time.
At the moment little else is known about this feature that seems to be still in testing given its operation. A movement not very new in terms of social networks in general, but that shows how Instagram cares about those users who leave their environment. A sign of weakening? A necessary step to monetize? In any case, a new feature to take into account for those users who have been active and who could now receive these photo newsletters featured if they stop using the application.
