News & Reviews:   IGTV

It looks like Instagram has given up on its attempt to capture the long-form video market following the company’s move to kill off the IGTV standalone app. In an official blog post on Monday (28 February 2022), Instagram confirmed that it is discontinuing support for the IGTV app thus ending the service as a whole. RIP!

It's been some time since Instagram first launched IGTV, a separate app for longer videos, and it looks like the company is now looking to cash in. Yup, Instagram has announced that ads will be coming to IGTV. But the good news for some is that the company is willing to share the revenue.

If you have a sharp eye, you would notice that the IGTV icon has disappeared on your Instagram main menu. First introduced about two years ago as a new platform for video content creators, but it looks like nobody really cares and this is not a mistake. In fact, it seems that only 1% of users actually tap on the IGTV button on the main user interface.

Stalking days are over! After the following tab got removed recently, Instagram is trying to get rid of stalkers as you will no longer be able to dig into public accounts without signing in to your account.
