According to TechCrunch<\/em><\/a>, Instagram is experimenting with full-screen vertical home feeds. Upon opening the Instagram app, users immediately see vertical content meant to \u201cbring video more front and center.\u201d Instagram head Adam Mosseri confirmed the test in a video<\/a> posted to Twitter, saying taller photos and videos would begin appearing in some feeds.<\/p>\n Testing Feed Changes <\/p>\n We\u2019re testing a new, immersive viewing experience in the main Home feed. <\/p>\n If you\u2019re in the test, check it out and let me know what you think. pic.twitter.com\/dmM5RzpicQ<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Adam Mosseri (@mosseri) May 3, 2022<\/a>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n An image shared by Instagram shows a home feed taken up by a full-screen post with comments, captions, likes, and other features placed on top of the post instead of below. Though the Stories bar isn\u2019t present at the top of the screen in the image, Seine Kim, a Meta spokesperson, says that view shows the home feed once users start scrolling and that Stories will still be accessible at the top of their screen. Search, Reels, shopping, and a user\u2019s own profile are still accessible via buttons at the bottom of the screen. Notifications, messages, and new post features remain at the top, along with the ability to switch between accounts.<\/p>\n Kim says still images and video posts will also be incorporated into the full-screen feed.<\/p>\n Instagram\u2019s choice to test feeds focused on immersive video isn\u2019t exactly a surprise. The company has heavily pushed short-form video to creators and users, offering cash bonuses<\/a> to creators making top Reels. And it would very much like it if you stopped reposting TikToks to the platform. In late April, Mosseri said the platform would change its ranking algorithm to reward \u201coriginal\u201d content<\/a> over reposted content. And the platform has been investing in creator tools to siphon original content away from its competitors: Instagram began testing Templates<\/a> in late April, allowing creators to use existing Reels formats on their own videos.<\/p>\n
