#meta Instagram

Instagram is experiencing a bug in which stories keeps on repeating. For example, if a user has already viewed four (4) stories our of five (5) from someone’s Instagram Stories, it is expected that once the user goes back, it’ll be able to view right away the fifth story, but what happens is that the user will automatically go back to the first story and has to view it all again. Instagram goes head to head with its rival TikTok by experimenting now with a full-screen home feed. Compared to Instagram, where stories are located on top of the screen, and has square cropping on all feed videos and images. Now, Meta wants to bring an ‘immersive experience’ of viewing videos into Instagram. Head of Instagram Adam Mosseri said that they’re currently experimenting with 9:16 orientation which will give more focus on videos, as well as taller photos.

The next few weeks of Instagram will be full of tests and let’s see how Instagram will advance against TikTok and also Google’s YouTube Shorts.
