Instagram Tests New ‘Top 3’ Sticker Taking Inspiration from MySpace

Instagram is testing a new sticker option for Stories called ‘Top 3’, as discovered by app researcher Alessandro Paluzzi. Similar to MySpace’s infamous Top 8, the feature will allow users to highlight their top three favorite accounts, tracks, places, and more. This move by Meta is likely an attempt to spark engagement, with the potential for disputes among teen users. It remains unclear whether the feature will be tested or if it is just an internal prototype. This shows how everything old is new again, even if the old stuff wasn’t that great.
