Instagrahttps://www.instagram.com/m has put in effort to the app lately, trying out a full screen photo scroll, changing all videos to reels and pushing their video content to…. kind of….. be more like TikTok. Some people are not having it.
Audiences tend to enjoy the Instagram app for what it is, a unique platform for people to post their nicest pictures to all of their friends. Many describe the app as a silent cat-walk.
However, with the app’s new updates, people can’t help but notice that the app is not as likable and is losing it’s charm due to all it’s unnecessary changes to video based content.
People’s Problem with Instagram
Many have reported seeing so many suggested posts, Reels and advertisements that they are not even able to find their friend’s pictures. Some have been suggesting that their regular like count has halved due to the over-flood of content being displayed on feed.
Well to be honest I hate the new Insta so much I literally can’t stay on it for over 2 mins.

Here are some examples of the internet’s discussion of the changes today:
