The popular social network Instagram has been changing beyond recognition in recent months. The fact that the original founders have left the company will certainly contribute to this phenomenon, and its overall visual thus completely deviates from the original idea of the photo application. According to the latest information, we will see a new way of viewing posts that Instagram is currently testing. This function should work on the basis of "Insta Stories", so instead of vertical swiping, we will be able to scroll through photos and videos by clicking on the screen. We can switch to the next or previous post by clicking on the right or left side of the display, just like in the case of stories. The company is currently testing this method in the "Explore” and according to the statement, it should be about simplifying access to new posts and also about a clearer user interface.

The idea of updating a popular mobile application is based on the fact of adapting all elements and operations using the same actions. However, according to everything, this change should not arrive in the next few months. On the other hand, it is highly debatable whether this change will catch on sufficiently among users, as many fans do not consider the development of Instagram to be adequate. This was one of the reasons for the departure of the original founders of Instagram, which caused too much pressure from the company Facebook.
Would you welcome a new display of posts on a click-through basis like in the case of Insta Stories?
"We're constantly testing and discovering new things that will bring our users closer to using the app better and more efficiently," a company spokesperson said in a statement. At the moment, it would be very premature to talk about a certain change that will affect the immediate display of posts on one of the most popular social networks. However, the leading members of Instagram are counting on this idea, and if it turns out that a similar interface is more popular than the current one, we can expect a transformation of Instagram as we know it. Among the smaller seasonal updates that have come to the application in recent years, this could be one of the biggest changes that could affect millions of users. Especially those for whom Instagram has long since started moving away from the original idea of sharing photos.
