Here’s how to find your way around with it. The head of Instagram Adam Mosseri recently announced that the app is “no longer a photo-sharing platform.” During the pandemic, we could see the enormous growth of one of the currently most popular video-sharing apps TikTok - and it is no surprise that the app grabbed people’s attention so easily. It is raw, real and it creates a feeling of a “closer bond” between the creators and audience.
Instagram adapted to this new feature easily through its “Reel” function and its success is slowly erasing the old photo-sharing feature from the platform.
