Instagram lets IGTV creators send notifications to fans
The platform is adding features to make creating and sharing series easier.
Instagram has added a few features to make it easier for anyone to create and share series on IGTV. Now, creators can blast their fans with notifications. They can organize videos on a series page and have a series title appear on each video. And, when viewers watch an episode from a series, IGTV will automatically recommend the next episode.
Now you can easily watch IGTV series from creators you love and get notified when there are new episodes.

IGTV hasn't exactly taken off. Though, it has enlisted stars like Jonah Hill, who hosted a series that tackles bullying, and it finally gave in and added horizontal videos. If it's going to succeed, it will need more features like these.
