Instagram will soon begin testing a full-screen redesign of its main feed, according to Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Meta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because Zuckerberg’s announcement was made via an Instagram story, you might have missed it if you blinked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are some screenshots of the new design before (top) and after (bottom) comparisons:<\/p>\n\n\n

Instagram now appears to be more like a TikTok clone, with the content filling the entire screen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Every other element is overlayed on the content except for a small area at the bottom for navigation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To clear up any misunderstandings about the new design, Zuckerberg adds that photos will remain an important part of Instagram.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instagram will not be turned into a video-only platform as a result of the redesign.<\/p>\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

If you can’t see the photo above, here’s what Zuckerberg said:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe want to make it easier to discover content and connect with friends.<\/p>

Photos are still an important part of Instagram, and we\u2019re working on ways to improve the way they show up in a full-screen feed too.<\/p>

Some people will start seeing this test soon.<\/p>

Exited to hear your feedback.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Because Instagram photos are currently not uploaded in full-screen dimensions, it will be interesting to see how this works in practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To accomplish this, the app will almost certainly have to crop the sides of the photo, which may result in a loss of detail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Zuckerberg’s commitment to preserving the Instagram photo-sharing experience contrasts with what Instagram’s CEO, Adam Mosseri, has been saying for the past year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mosseri went so far as to say in July 2021, “We’re no longer a photo sharing app.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mosseri outlined his Instagram plans for this year in late January, stating that videos and messaging are his top priorities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While photos will still be included in the new Instagram feed, it’s clear that the company does not see this as a growth area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Right now, video, particularly short-form video, is the growth driver. Facebook, too, is shifting its focus to video, a move prompted by a stock drop in February.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An internal memo sent to Facebook employees recently announced that the feed would be restructured around video.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There’s no guarantee that your video investment will pay off. It has just as much of a chance of alienating existing users as it does of attracting new ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To be sure, it’s a risk. Expect a completely new Instagram and Facebook feed before the end of the year, so be ready for changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
