The popular photo-sharing app Instagram is rolling out a new feature of adding pronouns to your profile on its platform. Currently, this new field is available in a few countries only. According to the social media company, this is a new way to express yourself on Instagram.

Facebook-owned Instagram took to Twitter to announce the arrival of pronouns to its platform. The users will now be able to add up to four pronouns on their profile. These can either be shared publicly or the user can choose to display to tier followers only. At the moment the feature is limited to a few countries and the company did not specify the names of regions it will be accessible to but it has plans to extend it to other markets in the future.

Vishal Shah, Vice President of Product at Instagram also took to Twitter to introduce this feature to Indian users. His tweet reads, “Now you can add pronouns to your profile with a new field. It’s another way to express yourself on Instagram, and we’ve seen a lot of people adding pronouns already, so hopefully, this makes it even easier. Available in a few countries today with plans for more.”

The users will be able to use the bio space on their profile to add several pronouns such as he/him, she/her and they/them. These pronouns will be displayed on your profile in small grey characters beside your usernames.

These gender-inclusive pronouns and prefixes are currently accessible in the United States, United Kingdom, Canada and Australia.

Here is how you can add pronouns to your Instagram profile?

Firstly, go to the Edit Profile section on your Instagram profile. Then you will see an option to add pronouns right beneath the Name column. There you can add pronouns like they/them/theirs, she/her/hers, he/him/his. These pronouns can be seen publicly on your profile or you can choose to share them only with your followers. While those who are below 18 years of age the pronouns will only be allowed to be seen by your followers only and not to the public. 

The users can also fill up a form at https://help.instagram.com/contact/ to have a pronoun added which is not available as options or can give suggestions. According to the social media channel, it will continue to update the list of terms over time, so that more people around the world can share their pronouns more easily.  

Much before Instagram brought this feature to its platform other social media and dating apps such as OkCupid already allows its users to add pronouns to their profiles.

Here is what will happen if you don’t accept the WhatsApp policy before the effective date

In January this year, WhatsApp introduced the latest privacy policy to its users. The WhatsApp Policy change forced the users to agree to its new Terms and Services to continue using the app. The users were given a deadline of May 15 to accept its controversial privacy policy update, which created a stir amongst the users and faced severe backlash. But recently the new deadline for accepting the privacy policy was scrapped.

According to a WhatsApp spokesperson, “No accounts will be deleted on May 15 because of this update and no one in India will lose functionality of WhatsApp either. We will follow up with reminders to people over the next several weeks.”

The instant messaging platform on its website now stated that if the users did not accept the new privacy policy terms they would not face deletion but will encounter limited functionality of its platform. “No one will have their accounts deleted or lose functionality of WhatsApp on May 15th because of this update.” WhatsApp’s security and privacy page on the website stated.

According to WhatsApp, it has displayed a notification in WhatsApp providing more information about the update, therefore, giving everyone enough time to review hence it will continue to do so to those who haven’t had the chance to do so to review and accept. After a period of several weeks, the reminder people receive will eventually become persistent.

When the reminder becomes persistent to the WhatsApp users they will encounter limited functionality on WhatsApp until they accept the updates. However, this will not happen to all users at the same time.

So, what will happen if you do not accept the WhatsApp policy?

According to WhatsApp, when you don’t accept its policy it won’t let you access your chat list, but you can still answer the incoming phone and video calls. Also, you will still be able to tap on the notification to read or respond to a message or call back a missed phone or video call if you have the notifications enabled.

After a short while, you won’t be able to receive incoming calls or notifications and WhatsApp will stop sending messages and calls to your phone.

It should be noted that WhatsApp will not delete your account if you don’t accept the new update but its existing policy related to inactive users will apply. Also to turn over one’s mind the social media app has also warned the users and asked them to reconsider their decision of deleting their account on Android, iPhone, or KaiOS. According to WhatsApp deleting the account is something that can’t reverse as it erases the user’s message history, removes them from all of their WhatsApp groups, and deletes their WhatsApp backups.
