What Needs to Be Done?
Instagram was initially a photo-sharing platform that allowed people to see what their friends had been doing and they could react to the post with a heart sticker and comment below. The app evolved and added several new features over the past few years. The logo, thumbnails, and method of sharing were altered. People could add videos more than a minute longer. Later, a new app was designed and presented before the users which didn’t get much appreciation. Even the celebrities including Kylie Jenner and Kim Kardashian who have millions of followers posted on their stories “make Instagram Instagram again”.
Today, people want to see the content that their close ones post. The unusual pause in the videos while scrolling needs to be fixed.

Users Need to Cope and Chill Too

Instagram has been coping with several issues and trying to resolve them as well. Just like Previously, Instagram new privacy policy was introduced to keep the adults away from teens. Since the application was specifically designed for the youngsters and less for the adults, the team decided to keep them separate. Adam was reportedly trying to convince the audience that the platform is doing efforts to make the app a better version of itself.
