Mark Zuckerberg will seek to copy the TikTok design for use in the Instagram feed
According to the official Instagram blog and the latest Stories of the CEO who created Facebook, it will start testing a new design in the app feed, with the goal of sharing content in full screen mode to give more importance to the photos and videos that are initially shared.
Zuckerberg explained that the tests have begun, with a small glimpse of how this new vertical design works. “Photos are still an important part of Instagram and we are working on how to improve the way they appear in a full screen stream as well,” he said on his account stories.
As can be seen in the example Zuckerberg shared, when you enter content, it later opens in full screen and is separated from the rest of the videos in the feed, separated by color margins when you scroll (down or up to go to other content).
Basically, it will be similar to what is already happening with the reels, although they are videos or images, they can be managed according to the time we want to see, and we do not have to wait until all the content is finished to see it again, as it happens in the form of a short video.
