Overwhelmed by the protest of "Don't Learn TikTok Again", Instagram decided to suspend some function changes

(Observers' online news) After being chased and scolded by users for a week, "Don't learn TikTok again", Instagram (IG), a social platform owned by Meta, is no longer "top iron" and announced to withdraw some recent functional changes.
According to CNN, on July 28 local time, Instagram said that the application would suspend the test of displaying photos and short videos in full screen, while reducing the recommended content in the information stream to improve its algorithm.
Adam Mosseri, head of Instagram, said: "We definitely need to take a big step back and redeploy." In the last week, Instagram faced massive criticism.
Users were dissatisfied with its efforts to promote Reels short video service, which is very similar to TikTok, and protested against its changes in turning photos and videos into full screen displays, using algorithms to recommend content to users, and so on.
After millions of users liked the initiative of "Let Instagram be Instagram instead of TikTok", Instagram was shaken.
On July 28, local time, a spokesman for Instagram's parent company Meta said in a statement: "According to our survey and community feedback, we have suspended the full screen test of Instagram so that we can explore other options.
At the same time, we have temporarily reduced the number of recommended content you (users) see in the information flow to improve the quality of your experience." The statement also said that they realized that changes to applications need to be adjusted and adapted.
"Although we think Instagram needs to adapt to changes in the world, we want to take time to ensure that we are going in the right direction.".
On the same day, Adam Moseley, the head of Instagram, said in an interview with Platformer, a technology website: "I'm glad we took the risk.
If we don't get frustrated from time to time, it shows that our ideas are not bold enough." He added: "We must take a big step back and redeploy.
When we learn a lot, we will come back with some new ideas or iterations.
We need to solve this problem." Two days ago (26 days), Moselli's attitude was still to admit that the test was "not very good", but the trend of "more and more Instagram posts will become videos" would not change, and he did not say that Instagram would suspend the test.
Adam Moseley can see that Instagram can't withstand the pressure this time.
Kelly Jenna (IG fans 361 million) and her half sister Kim Kardashian (IG fans 326 million) and Courtney Kardashian (IG fans 196 million) have strong influence on social platforms.
Kelly roast that Snapchat's Twitter once made Snapchat's parent company, Snap, lose more than $1 billion in market value in one day.
They all spoke out to resist IG "imitating TikTok"
