Nearly six years after launching video sharing on its platform, at appears Instagram is finally working on adding the ability to fast-forward through videos in your timeline. Discovered by app researcher Jane Manchun Wong, the new feature makes it possible to skim through videos in your timeline.
Until now, videos in your timeline timeline would simply play from beginning to end and repeat themselves. Now, it's possible to effectively fast-forward through videos with a little swipe of your finger, as seen in Wong's GIF below:
