Instagram will no longer be an app for sharing square photos. Within six months, the platform will undergo major changes related to authors, videos, purchases, and messages.
Kyiv. Ukraine. Ukraine Gate – July 1, 2021 – Technology
The new vector of application development was announced by the head of Instagram Adam Mosseri.
– At Instagram, we are always trying to create new features that will help you get the most out of it. We currently focus on four key areas – authors, videos, shopping, and messaging, – said Adam.
Mosseri said the first change would affect the authors, but did not say what it would be.
Adam stressed that video is currently the basis of all platforms. Therefore, videos on Instagram will start showing on full screen in user feeds. The social network will become an entertaining video platform, replacing TikTok and YouTube.
– The third change concerns purchases. The pandemic has displaced or accelerated the transition of commerce to online in a few years. We are trying to support this trend, – said the head of Instagram.
The latest change to Instagram will affect correspondence. Mosseri stressed that over the past five years, communication between people has turned into an exchange of messages. However, did not disclose any details of the platform update.
