Instagram Head Adam Mosseri announced the update in a post, calling it a way to “add your creative take” to content. The new "markup" tool is available in the menu for quoting and reposting. Instead of simply quoting a post, it opens an editing tool where users can highlight text, draw arrows or doodle directly on a screenshot of the post. Currently, the options are limited to yellow highlights and red arrows or scribbles, but Mosseri hinted that “more to come soon” from Meta is in the pipeline.
