The test version of the app earned the ire of many people, including celebrities.
According to the Platformer newsletter, Adam Mosseri told them on Thursday that the recently released version of the photo sharing service would be rolled back.
Many users of Instragram complained about the test version of the app being too similar to TikTok and not respecting its photo sharing roots.
Mosseri responded to critics in a short video by saying that photos will continue to be an important part of the service. He said that people are liking and sharing videos on the app and that will lead to more push into video.
Mosseri and his team reversed course after the backlash against the test version of the app.
Mosseri told Platformer that he was glad they took a risk. We need to take a step back.
Mosseri said that while it will temporarily reduce the number of recommended videos, that number will rise again once the company feels its improved technology.
