Instagram Launches Co-Watching As Part Of Its Campaign Against COVID-19

Instagram has just launched a new feature called Co-Watching. The feature lets friends (or followers) on a video chat go through posts related to a user’s activity. This would mean that the pastime would no longer be a solo hobby. This is part of Instagram's response against the coronavirus. Netflix Party is a similar feature that lets people watch Netflix content with friends and chat while doing so. The app will go as far as to downgrade the reputation of content that doesn’t meet the expectations of third-party fact-checkers.
