Instagram’s UI is getting an update, with a few minor tweaks to the app layout, and the placement of function buttons on-screen.
As you can see in this image, from February, the navigation bar at the bottom of the app will now have the shortcut for creating content in the middle, as opposed to the current Reels shortcut. The Reels button will shift to the right, while the Shop tab that’s currently in that spot will disappear.
Which is another concession, of sorts, that shopping isn’t taking off as well as Instagram had hoped – though Instagram notes that it will still support its shopping tools after the update.
