Instagram initially gained global popularity as a social media platform where only images could be shared. Insta is known as a photo sharing app. However, many users have not noticed the recent change in them. Leading models and reality show sisters Kim Kardashian and Kylie Jenner have publicly expressed it.
Kim has over 326 million followers on Instagram. Kylie, on the other hand, has 360 million followers. The two world’s most well-known social media influencers are calling for the return of the old Instagram. Kylie Jenner and Kim suggest that Instagram should be the old Instagram instead of trying to be like the Chinese short video app Tik Tok. This is indicated in the picture shared on the Insta story.
Make Instagram Instagram again. Stop trying to be Tik Tok. I want to see cute pictures of my friends. – Sincerely… everyone…. – This is what is written in the Instagram story of both of them.
With each recent update, Instagram is slowly becoming a video-centric app, just like TikTok. Metta’s CEO Mark Zuckerberg is pushing his social media apps toward short videos. Meanwhile, both Facebook and Instagram are losing users.
When Jenner shared her frustration with Snapchat’s new layout in 2018, it even affected their stock value. It fell by more than eight percent that day. According to reports, Snapchat lost a billion dollars in market value.
Meanwhile, Instagram recently announced that it is coming up with a new update to the Reels section. Any video posted by the user under 15 minutes will automatically turn into a reel from now on. If the user has a public account, such videos will be recommended by Instagram itself and reach more people.
