Over the last few weeks, Instagram\u2019s home feed has been taken over by more videos uploaded by creators. The slow move to a format like TikTok has started the \u2018Make Instagram Normal\u2019 campaign, and Kylie Jenner joined the movement on July 16 when she called for Instagram to \u201cstop trying to be TikTok.\u201d The Head of Instagram, Adam Mosseri, has responded to the recent backlash\u2026 and users aren\u2019t happy. Head of Instagram responds to video backlash On July 26, Adam Mosseri posted a video tweet to address a few things that they\u2019re working on to make Instagram a better experience. \u201cThere\u2019s a lot going on with Instagram right now, we\u2019re experimenting with a number of different changes to the app. And so, we\u2019re hearing a lot of concerns from all of you,\u201d he explained. He went on to detail that if users are seeing or hearing about the new full-screen version of the feed, it is a test and therefore it\u2019s not perfect \u2014 yet. \u201cThe second thing I\u2019m hearing a lot of concerns about is photos, and how we\u2019re shifting to video. Now, I want to be clear that we\u2019re going to continue to support photos,\u201d he detailed. \u201cThat said, I do believe more and more of Instagram is going to become video over time.\u201d Mosseri\u2019s response didn\u2019t make Instagram users happy, with many taking to the comments expressing their distaste for the new features. One user said: \u201cFullscreen is a poor product experience because it has replaced a seamless scrolling experience with a friction-filled experience. It\u2019s a stop and pause to force me to watch every post. I don\u2019t want every post to be full screen.\u201d While another explained: \u201cCompeting with TikTok is a fine ambition, but it shouldn\u2019t replace the pictures of friends that keep me going to IG.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
