Instagram’s Big Makeover
Instagram is changing — again. The platform is rolling out its updated user interface (UI) to millions of users worldwide.
The new design aims to make navigation simpler and improve content discovery. However, not everyone seems happy about it. Many users are already sharing mixed opinions online.
What’s Changing
The updated UI introduces a cleaner layout and new icons. For example, the navigation bar now looks sleeker, and buttons have more rounded edges. Stories and Reels tabs are also getting subtle redesigns.
In addition, Instagram says the update will make switching between personal and business accounts faster. The company claims these changes enhance accessibility and overall app performance.
However, longtime users say the redesign feels unfamiliar. Some argue it focuses too much on Reels, making photos harder to find. As a result, debates about Instagram’s direction are heating up again.
Reactions Pour In
Social media quickly filled with posts comparing the new layout to previous versions. Some praised the fresh look, calling it “modern and clean.” Others missed the older, simpler interface.
Despite the criticism, Instagram insists the update is here to stay. “We’re listening to feedback,” the company said, “but innovation means change.”
The gradual rollout will continue over the next few weeks. Therefore, users worldwide should expect to see the new look soon — whether they like it or not.
