"The company first showed off a similar design when it launched its first iPad app earlier this month. The new interface has Stories up top, like it did previously, but the DM button now lives on the navigation bar in the center, and the Reels tab will move to the second spot. You can swipe to navigate between these tabs."
"The Following tab is now placed next to Reels, and gives you three feed options: "All" for recommended posts and reels from accounts you follow; "Friends" for posts and reels from mutuals; and "Latest" for the newest posts and reels. Instagram said that while this redesign is being tested with a limited number of people, the company aims to roll it out globally."
"Instagram has chosen India and South Korea to test a new interface that displays the app's Reels page first. Adding to its announcement last week that Instagram crossed 3 billion monthly users, Meta said on Monday that much of its growth is thanks to short videos, which are reshared across its various platforms 4.5 billion times. That is why it is more prominently featuring Reels and DMs in the app's interface."
Instagram is testing a redesigned interface in India and South Korea that opens to the Reels page. The company previously showed a similar layout with its first iPad app earlier this month. Stories remain at the top, but the DM button moves to the center of the navigation bar and the Reels tab shifts to the second position. Users can swipe between tabs. The Following tab now sits next to Reels and offers three feeds: All, Friends, and Latest. The redesign is currently limited to some users but is planned for global rollout. Instagram reached 3 billion monthly users and cites short videos reshared 4.5 billion times as a major growth driver.
