Earlier this month, Instagram announced that it would begin introducing advertising into its feed, and Thursday, the Facebook-owned photo-sharing network offered examples of what the ads -- which have yet to launch -- will look like.

Earlier this month, Instagram announced that it would begin introducing advertising into its feed, and Thursday, the Facebook-owned photo-sharing network offered examples of what the ads — which have yet to launch — will look like.

Similar to ads from its parent company, Instagram ads will be labeled as sponsored, in the spot where the time stamp for photos usually appears.

Users who wish to hide ads can tap the button with three periods, which will enable them to provide feedback on why the ads were not interesting to them.

Instagram said it will launch advertising with a handful of partners, naming Adidas, Ben & Jerry’s, Burberry, General Electric, Lexus, Levi’s, Macy’s, Michael Kors, PayPal, and Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide.
