Creators Broadcast Channel
Creators will be able to use broadcast channels as a public one-to-many messaging tool, invite all of their followers, and share text, image and video updates. Voice notes can also be shared in this and polls can be made to get feedback from fans. But in this only creators can share content in the channel. Fans can only react to the content and vote in polls.
How will the Creators Broadcast Channel work?
If a creator gets Broadcast channel access, then after the creator sends their first message, their fans will get a one-time notification to join. They can send these messages from their Instagram inbox. Any user can search the broadcast channel and view the content, but as soon as the update is done, the fans who join the channel will start getting the update.
Fans will have the option to leave or mute any broadcast channel in the middle, which they can join and leave whenever they want. They can control the notifications they receive from creators by going to the profile of any creator, clicking on the bell icon, and selecting the broadcast channel.
