An interesting function comes to Instagram
The social network Instagram has been quite devoted to social causes in recent times. It previously gave the possibility of raising funds for different charitable causes and, with the whole issue of the Coronavirus, we have seen many more actions in favor of different affected communities and entities.
What this fundraising allowed through a Stories sticker was to raise funds and money for foundations, associations and charitable events. But now Instagram who allow users to raise money for their own purposes.
The option to raise money for your own purposes is currently only available in the United States, United Kingdom and Ireland
This function will allow users who so wish to start a fundraiser for those activities that they deem appropriate or are important to them, and in which their followers can participate, and through both the profile and the Stories.
To create this type of campaign we will have to access our profile and, once we are inside it, choose Edit Profile. When doing so, when the option is activated, the possibility of “Add Fundraising” should appear, which would allow us to choose “Raise money“. In this way, we would already have our campaign created.
Instagram's new feature
Yes, this function will have a series of requirements.The first of these is that Instagram will have to monitor the purpose for which the donation is being requested and, within a period of 30 days, authorize it. Not only that, but also, those who want to create a campaign of this type will have to be over 18 years old.
For now, this new feature to raise money for our own causes is only available on a trial basis in the US, UK and Ireland. But Instagram itself has said that it intends for it to reach other countries shortly, so we will have to wait for it to arrive. What do you think of this new feature?
