News & Reviews:   Adam Mosseri

Previously, Threads was tied directly to your Instagram account but deleting your Threads profile would mean doing the same for the latter too. It was quite a bizarre move, to say the least, but you can do it now thanks to the long-awaited update.

It's been almost a week since Threads launched and even until now, most of us have no clue what to do with the app. Although it's mimicking Twitter, its role is quite different from what we expect, at least according to Instagram CEO Adam Mosseri.

It's been only five days since Threads was launched but there are already millions of users. That said, new Threads users would notice a couple of missing features if compared with Twitter such as hashtags, the flexibility to switch accounts and more.

It looks like Instagram is not done with experimenting with its app just yet even after making a ‘u-turn’ on its recommended posts change following criticisms from fans. Now, the social media platform is doubling-down on full-screen content in its bid to compete with TikTok, this time by introducing ultra-tall 9:16 photos.

Just yesterday, we talked about how Meta is doubling the amount of content that you don't follow on your Facebook and Instagram accounts. Personally, I'm not a big fan of this because I just want to see what my friends and family are up to. Even the Kardashians hate the new Instagram but luckily, it seems that Instagram CEO Adam Mosseri is going to make a U-turn.

These days, companies are really trying to take advantage of having non-fungible tokens (NFTs) in whichever platform they are having. Instagram is the latest player to join the bandwagon and it has begun testing NFTs.

Instagram yesterday announced that it is revamping the app by introducing ‘Favourites’ and ‘Following’, two new ways for your feed to behave. The good news is, regardless of which option you take, your feed will display posts in chronological order again!

Shared by the Head of Instagram, Adam Mosseri via a Meta blogpost yesterday, the change is part of the platform’s initiative to give users more choice and control over what they see in their feed. Furthermore, the change wants to make the time users spend on Instagram ‘feel more intentional’.

While surfing on your social media apps can be relaxing, it can also be tiring due to the kind of content you like to see online. Just a few hours ago, Adam Mosseri (Instagram CEO) just announced that the Instagram team will be testing out a new "Take a Break" feature.
