Gen Z explores slow messaging apps as Instagram launches Reels editing tool
Some members of Generation Z are moving away from instant messaging in favor of applications like Carrier Pidge and Roost. These apps utilize a virtual carrier pigeon concept where messages are not delivered immediately. Instead, users must wait for a virtual bird to travel to the recipient at an average speed of 177 kilometers per hour. Depending on the distance, delivery can take anywhere from a few seconds to several hours, and there is a 0.2 percent chance a message will be lost during transit.
In social media developments, Instagram has introduced a new feature called First Draft designed to simplify the creation of Reels. The tool uses an algorithm to automatically edit raw footage by removing silent gaps and unnecessary clips, completing the process in less than 10 seconds. Currently, this feature is exclusively available to iPhone users.
