Instagram used to be just a square photo-sharing platform. You took a photo, edited it in Photoshop, and posted.
Well, those times are gone.
And it has all started with Adam Mosseri’s announcement about how videos will take Instagram by storm as they begin to highly promote this feature.
It doesn’t mean that photos will no longer work… but videos will be better.
Let’s take a closer look at how it’s going to look.
Instagram CEO’s announcement
As I mentioned before, just a few weeks ago, Adam Mosseri (the Instagram CEO) said that Instagram is no longer just a photo-sharing app and that their main attention is going to be around videos.
After that, a huge way of promotion for Instagram reels begun.
Not just because they have created a separate tap on the bottom menu to discover more reels, but because they even started to suggest them in your feed, and they started to appear on the explore page.
