How do you do it? Easy. Just look for the new icon (shaped like two smiley faces) at the bottom right. You’ll be prompted to select a friend, and voila – your screen will split vertically and you and your pal can have a live conversation. Cool, right? Look for it coming to your feed in the next few months. ## **InstaSad** Is your Instagram account a window into your mental health?  **[A new study says yes](https://www.nytimes.com/2017/08/10/science/instagram-mental-health-depression.html)**. “People in our sample who were depressed tended to post photos that, on a pixel-by-pixel basis, were bluer, darker and grayer on average than healthy people,” Andrew Reece, co-author of the study with Christopher Danforth, told the  *New York Times*. Even your filter choice might be revealing: the study found that more depressed people used the gloomy black and white Inkwell, while happier people used the vibrant Valencia. ## Apple Takes A Bite Out Of Instagram Unlike seemingly every other brand, Apple bravely resisted the siren’s call of Instagram for years (though they’ve maintained a few dedicated niche accounts). But this month, **[the tech giant gave up the fight](https://www.theverge.com/2017/8/7/16106600/apple-instagram-launch)**, launching an official Instagram feed – dubbed **[@apple](https://www.instagram.com/apple/)**, naturally. But the feed isn’t positioned as a promotional tool for Apple as a whole. Instead, the offerings showcase the amazing photographic capabilities of the iPhone, using the hashtag “#ShotOniPhone.” Apple says it will give followers “a look through the lens of iPhone users around the world.” ## Most Tagged Instagram Stories are great for a lot of things – but the feature’s greatest use may be for making your friends totally jealous of the amazing places you’re traveling to. Recently, the social media service revealed **[the top-five most geo-tagged destinations in the world](http://www.cnn.com/travel/article/instagram-stories-most-tagged-cities/index.html)**. Some are not surprising – New York City, Sao Paulo and London. But there are some slightly unexpected inclusions: Jakarta, the capital of Indonesia, tops the list. ## **Fresh From The Spin Kitchen** - **[Beginner Friendly NYC Climbing Spots + Must-Have Gear](https://turnerpr.com/spin-kitchen/beginner-friendly-nyc-climbing-spots-must-have-gear)** ## **Weekly Moment of Zen** A necessary feast for the eyes –** [check out a collection gorgeous forest photos released under the Creative Commons](http://boingboing.net/2017/08/10/tinyworlds-gorgeous-forest-ph.html).** - [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) [![The State of Instagram](https://www.turnerpr.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/wd-july7-2019-1-1.png) ](https://www.turnerpr.com/spin-kitchen/state-of-instagram) 2 min read #### [The State of Instagram](https://www.turnerpr.com/spin-kitchen/state-of-instagram) [Tyler Wilcox](https://www.turnerpr.com/spin-kitchen/author/tyler-wilcox) : June 07, 2019 Where digital meets travel + lifestyle … A collection of can’t-miss news from this week, including spring travel trends.
