AI captions, collabs, monetisation & more, here’s how to stay ahead in 2025.
Let’s be honest: Instagram is no longer just a platform. For most Indian content creators, it’s the career. Whether you’re in Delhi, Mumbai, or a small town like Indore, your phone is your stage. So when Instagram rolls out tools that can help us create faster, smarter, and better, you pay attention.
And this year, it’s clear: Instagram wants creators to win.
1. The Edits App: CapCut, Who?
Instagram’s new Edits app feels like it was built for Indian creators who want speed and quality. Think trending transitions, green screens, templates, and overlays, all in one place. And the best part? It doesn’t lag on Indian phones (thank god for that). It’s perfect for quick Reels when you’re juggling deadlines.
2. AI Caption Generator: Because Writing is Hard
Have you ever sat staring at your phone thinking, “Kya likhu?”
Meta’s AI can now generate captions based on your content, tone, and even what’s trending in your niche. Game-changer, especially for us who post on the go.
3. Collab Feeds & Broadcast Channels
creators like me love collaborating, but scheduling, posting, and tagging it’s a mess. Now, with Collab Posts and Broadcast Channels, you can post together and speak to your community directly. It’s intimate, clean, and very effective.
4. Monetisation Tools: Not Just for Celebs
Instagram is rolling out more tools for creators to earn from content, subscriptions, tip jars, affiliate links, and even exclusive content. Even micro-creators from India can start building income streams. If you’re not using these yet, it’s time to explore.
5. AR Filters & Try-Ons: Hello, Shopping Future
AR try-ons for beauty, fashion, and home brands are finally here. If you’re a creator in lifestyle, this is where you shine. Your followers can now try before they buy, and trust me, that’s a whole new level of influence.
