What: Instagram is testing a new one-to-many broadcast tool that allows creators to keep followers up to date in a quick and casual way.

Why it is important: Retailers and brands will have a new way to reach and connect with their customers through this tool.

The new feature will allow followers to respond by polls and reactions, eliminating a comment section.

Users will have access to Broadcast Channels in their Instagram inbox, where they can join a channel to be notified when updates are posted.
