It is often said that when something works, there is no need to change it. And it seems that some do not understand this until they suffer a setback. It’s just been revealed that Instagram has plans to make changes to the main screen menu (yes, again). But, this time, it seems that he succeeds with the modification. There are already many modifications that this social network has undergone in what has to do with its interface, some due to the increase in functions and others due to a change in strategy (and these are the ones that have worked the least for it, everything there is). what to say). The company owned by Meta is going for its umpteenth variation, but this time it intends to return to its roots (and that users do not slip through its fingers, many of them heading to TikTok, of course). The changes that come to Instagram They are not especially important so that the interface of the application undergoes very radical changes. The variations are focused on the lower bar where the shortcuts to different sections and functions are. And, the truth is that it recovers something that should never have disappeared from it: the icon that allows direct access to content creation. In this way, Instagram focuses on what is truly important -to the joy of many-. As they say, shoemaker to your shoes. In this way, to start creating something, you will not have to navigate through different menus… simply by clicking on the icon with the image of the ‘+’ symbol, the action is executed. This shows that on Instagram they want to clearly focus on the content, something that should never have changed, no matter how much they wanted to monetize the application (there are other ways to explore, and that do not affect the usability of the application and, by extension, , of the platform). Obviously, there are victims in this movement, but they are not particularly relevant to users. The store icon that was in the bottom bar disappears (without the sale links being removed from Instagram). Also, the element for the Reels gets another position, but it is still present in the place we talked about. In other words, everything makes much more sense and the commercial element moves to a lower level in preponderance in the user interface. These changes have an arrival date Well, yes, Instagram itself on its blog has communicated the aforementioned changes and, in addition, when they will occur: sometime in February 2023. Therefore, there is nothing left for the creation of content regain the weight it should have on the social network. Good news for users… we’ll see what the creators and companies that have stores on the platform think. >
