Instagram renews its interface and gives more prominence to Reels and purchases

Instagram has been introducing various novelties these months, the arrival of Reels being possibly the most important. This function is considered the TikTok of the social network, which was also launched coinciding with the problems of TikTok. Users in Spain have been enjoying it for weeks and it has been seen how it has been gaining prominence in the application.

This greater prominence is confirmed again with the new interface that is being launched on Instagram. The application changes interface, making Reels now have a greater role, since they have their own section. So the bet of the social network for this function is clear in this way.

The best settings to control privacy on Instagram

If you want to improve the privacy of your account on Instagram, there are certain settings that you can configure to protect your account in the best way.

Instagram renews its interface

When we open Instagram now, we find a new distribution of the buttons at the bottom of the screen. Next to the Home button, to go to the application feed, the Reels button is now introduced. This new video feature thus gets its own section in the application, leaving the explore window. It is clear in this way that it seeks to promote its use among users.

In the central part we have the button to upload content. When clicking on it, the application will ask us if we want to upload a publication, a story or if we want to upload a video in Reels. The button maintains its functionality, although it now takes on the appearance of a camera, instead of the classic + symbol.

The Instagram store also gains prominence. Some time ago the social network introduced its store, where you can buy products directly. This new interface seeks to give this store a greater role, because it now has its own section. In this section we will access stores that we already follow, as well as discover new stores, which could be of interest to us depending on our activity (publications seen, tastes, etc.).

The last button gives us access to our profile in the application, where the favorites section also takes refuge. One aspect that stands out in this interface change on Instagram is that the Explore section loses prominence. It no longer has a button in the lower menu, but a small magnifying glass icon is placed at the top, in order to enter that section, which keeps its design unchanged. This design is already being launched among Android users, so if you use the app, you probably already have access.
