Instagram Introduces a Secret Emoji Game for Users
Instagram, the popular social media platform, has quietly launched a hidden game within its messaging feature, enhancing user engagement without any formal announcement. This game, reminiscent of the classic 'Pong', allows users to play by sending an emoji in their conversations. The game, which does not require an internet connection, can be accessed by sending any single emoji, causing it to fly into the air and triggering a single-player game experience.
As users maneuver a paddle at the bottom of the screen, they must keep the emoji airborne, earning points for each successful bounce. The game's speed and difficulty increase as players progress, providing a fun challenge. Additionally, users can track their highest scores, encouraging repeated play. However, it’s important to note that the game only activates with one emoji, and the other participant in the chat will remain unaware of the game unless an emoji is sent unexpectedly. Although the game is available on both iOS and Android, not all users have reported access to this feature, indicating a gradual rollout by Meta.
