It looks like a badly made copy of its mobile website if you have used the photo sharing service on your desktop system. A new design takes advantage of large screens.

Adam Mosseri made the announcement through a post on Tuesday with a feature that allows professional accounts to schedule their posts.

He said that they wanted to make sure that the experience of using the internet was as good as possible. He said the new design is easier to use.

🎉 New Features 🎉

Some “finally features” that I think you’re going to be excited about…

– Schedule Posts (coming soon)

The date is November 8, 2022.

Menus and icons like home, search, messages, and notifications are moved to a side panel. A full grid spans across the monitor on the explore/ search page. The sidebar expands when you are on the screen.

Post, Guides, Reels, and tagged were hosted on top of the grid in the older design for web. You had to scroll to the top from wherever you were to switch to another tab. These options are moved to the side by the new design.

The redesign will make it easier to use the photo sharing service on large monitors, while at the same time making it harder to switch between tabs.

If you were hoping for an iPad version of the photo sharing app, you won't find it. Mosseri said that the iPad app is not big enough to be a priority for development.

Some creators will be able to sell NFTs directly in the app.
