Instagram Is Changing The Way You Get Video On The Platform

Instagram is in full revamping mode. After announcing it will change the way posts appear on the timeline, the social media platform is now rethinking the way you explore new trends and posts #softwaremagic

The focus behind the new change is video content and advertising, of course. After extending the video length limit to 60 seconds, Instagram is keen on bringing personalized video channels for users. In the Explore Tab, you’ll soon see a “Videos You Might Like” section that features clips from the whole community into “a seamless viewing experience”. There’s also “Featured”, a selection of video channels on different topics such as #COACHELLA.

The new changes shouldn’t meet as much resistance as the timeline based on likes did, since it starts from analyzing your current interests: “It connects you to posts about your interests from people you don’t yet follow. The more you like, the better Explore gets, adjusting to your preferences and showing you more of the stuff you enjoy.”

Have the changes reached your account yet? What do you think in terms of user experience?
