On the Russian social network, a business account will now be available, which, unlike Instagram (the owner of Meta is considered an extremist organization), can be used by several users without the need to enter a username and password. The founder of the service, developer Dmitry Marinin, spoke about this in an interview with socialbites.ca.
“We will only have one account, from which it will be possible to create several profiles. The creator of such a job profile will be able to grant access rights to other employees, if we are talking about a company. This is appropriate in terms of security and user experience,” he said.
According to the developer, such a profile can be used by the entire SMM department: the manager will receive administrative rights from the head of the company, and then he can add his subordinates there.
“This type of profile will not be able to subscribe to other users, which minimizes the “nogti_manikur_krasnadar_skidki subscribed to you” status, Marinin said.
He noted that a business profile on Now will prevent geolocation blocking, as is often the case with Instagram right now. “Instagram keeps seeing them coming from Moscow and then suddenly it’s an entry from London, for example. As a result, the account is blocked, ”says the founder of the service.

The Now app almost completely repeats Instagram visually. Unlike Rossgram, the application is fully functional, it is already possible to save and upload photos and videos. In addition, almost all the functions of Instagram are implemented inside, including the publication of “stories”.
