We really don’t think we’re exaggerating when we say that this will legit change our lives for the better!

As this intel was obtained by ~devious~ means, there’s no official word as to when (or if) this function will officially be rolled out anytime soon but hopefully if we get enough of a buzz going, Instagram will answer our prayers and petitions.
