The way we navigate Instagram may be changing soon. Recent reports show that the company works in full screen mode for your application. A feature that reminds us of other competitors like TikTok.
This is reported TechCrunchwhere they also ensure that this design was designed to make the video more visible. After all, Instagram pays a lot of attention to this format.especially when it comes to their drums.
It has recently been confirmed that more than 20 percent of the time “spent” on Instagram is spent on videos. Thus, among all the videos in the application, up to 50% of the time that users spend on the platform is achieved. Now it seems like the company wants to continue to put a lot more focus on its new stellar feature.
Here’s how this full-screen version of Instagram works
How does he comment TechCrunchthis “fullscreen” will allow us to keep having buttons create messages, switch accounts, notifications and messages at the top of the screen. Also in the lower zone the same tabs will remain Explore, reels, purchases and your profile.
However, it seems that the history panel will disappear. At the time of its report, Instagram had not told the aforementioned media if there would be any other way to access the feature. However, since TechCrunch they think the panel will appear if you swipe up on your home.
Of course, it’s a strange move when Instagram gets rid of the Stories panel. After all, this one of the functions that brings the most profit to the company, even more than drums. Their disappearance may push this function into the background; and maybe that’s what the company wants to do to give more attention to their short videos.
