love you sleigh sleigh okay so what is the podcast today helima it's kind of like a revisit, but because the thing has

popped off recently. So today we are talking about Instagram is over, which we called, we called

this. So if you want to hear our thoughts from like, what even was it like three months ago now?

Yeah. Wasn't it like Instagram's in his flop era or something? Exactly.

And we have just been proven right. So I think you should go back and listen to that episode

before you listen to this one. But anyway, why are we talking about this again now? So there's

a massive backlash to the new Instagram update. I haven't actually got any of the updates. Have you?

Have you been one of the chosen few who's got this new update? I haven't got, I've got kind of, I don't know, because I didn't really notice when they made it. So the pictures were like full screen, if that makes it. Like not full screen, but they're just full width, right? I didn't notice when that happened to me and then everyone was complaining. I was like, right, okay. But then I've seen they've done another update, which literally just makes it like TikTok so it like hovers on the specific post. You can only look up. You can't like free scroll. I haven't got that one. But we were talking about it in the Dollhouse chat, which everyone should join. And some of the other girls had got it.

So they put like screenshots in and it looks fucking ugly. It looks so ugly. I think my Hattie has it.

Hattie has it. She was showing me and I was like, what the heck? It's crazy. So they've made it.

So it does look like TikTok and they've made it so like video content is

prioritized on your like feed rather than like photos and shit. And I remember that they tried

to counteract the fact that people were complaining with the fact that they couldn't see their

friends content anymore by making that particular like section of Instagram that's like

only people you follow rather than just

like recommended stuff as well because that's another thing people complain about now isn't it
