New Instagram layout

Instagram started rolling out their new layout in mid-November. Those people who never updated yet now feel very happy they still see the old one. So, some people didn’t even know a problem existed. Well, everyone knows that sooner or later, everyone ends up forced to update. Mimicking TikTok, the new layout presents Reels. Insider.com noted that the changes “move the notifications tab and the “new post” creation function to the upper-right corner, where direct messages are located. Now, anchored at the bottom of the screen are the shortcuts to Instagram Reels and Instagram Shopping.”

Fans agree with Chrissy Teigen that they find it very difficult to figure out. One said, “I still can’t figure…out how to upload and post.” And another person agreed, noting, “omg me either, I can’t seem to just take a photo and post from the photo. I’ve to take the photo and go into my camera roll to post and it’s only giving me half a screen to use for the picture.”
