Instagram shared an announcement on Twitter about the public availability of their new global sticker against online bullying.

> Our mission is to connect you with the people and things you love, which only works if people feel comfortable expressing themselves on Instagram. We know bullying is a challenge many face, particularly young people. We are committed to leading the industry in the fight against online bullying, and we are rethinking the whole experience of Instagram to meet that commitment.

​​Snapchat Map Status feature overview and how to use it
