Following the Backlash By Almost Everyone, Instagram Has Decided to Revert Back the Changes Being Made
Speaking with Platformer, Instagram has mentioned that they would be making changes over the coming weeks, removing full-screen photos, as well as video from the app. Instagram will also reduce the number of recommendations being pushed to the users. While app users had been watching more videos before the full-screen push, Instagram’s data showed that users were not fans of the new feed design. During an earnings call this week, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg shared that recommended posts on Instagram are currently sitting above 15 percent. He also talked about how the recommendations on the platform would be closed to double by the end of 2023. Looking at the situation the platform is in the current state, we are not sure how things are going to be in 2023. This is what Mosseri has stated, While the reverses are certainly welcomed by a lot of people, Mosseri has also said that these changes would not be permanent. This could mean that Zuckerberg’s vision of Instagram could actually come true later. Simply put, the platform will need to keep making changes if it is hoping to stay relevant and compete with the likes of TikTok.
