Instagram responds to the accusations of Kim Kardashian and celebrities

The Meta social networking application faced sharp criticism from celebrities this week for changing dramatically over time. Recent changes have included a different timeline style that allows a single post to occupy the entire screen, which is more suitable for videos and “releases” than still photos. : “Make Instagram come back. Instagram. (Stop trying to be like Tik Tok, I just want to see pretty pictures of my friends.) With my sincere appreciation to all.” The third person with the most followers added the word “Please” to the stories feature on her Instagram account, which sparked the anger of celebrities. Following Jenner's displeasure with the app's latest update, another Instagram Stories post titled "Please Hot" from Skimms founder Kim Kardashian, who ranks seventh on the app's most-followed list, later appeared.

In response to the criticism, Instagram chief Adam Mosseri posted a video on Tuesday explaining how the app has enhanced features that have made it more like TikTok, the hugely popular Chinese video app. In this video, he said, "I have to be honest. I think Instagram will turn little by little and over time into a video app,” he said, adding that Instagram is in the early stages of change. He commented on the update, saying, "I'd also like to be clear. It's not good yet.” Model and author Chrissy Teigen, who has 39 million followers on Instagram, tweeted, "We don't want to make videos, Adam." James Charles, YouTuber and beauty influencer with 23 million Instagram followers, commented: In the videos is that we are forced to publish them… And the shift to video is not on the scale of the entire industry, but on the scale of TikTok.” After criticism from famous names continued, an Instagram spokeswoman said: "We don't have much to report on the changes other than what Adam mentioned.
