In its effort to become increasingly user-friendly for its users, Instagram has created an interesting new feature.
The social media giant has added personalized shortcuts to its app, placing the most-used emoji above your keyboard when you start commenting on a post. The new feature rolled out broadly on Thursday, but has been in testing since May on both Android and iOS.
The new emoji bar won't appear in other areas where the keyboard is used, like replying to a story or describing your own posts. However, given the sheer number of people who comment with emoji, this should help reduce the time it takes to post a comment.
