Considering that Instagram changed how we eat, dress, and consume media, their updates are a big deal.

It all began when they opened up their API in 2015.

3 . D I R E C T M E S S A G I N G
On September 1st, 2015, direct messaging gets a makeover.
Added functionality now makes the tool more intuitive for users.

4 . B O O M E R A N G
In late October 2015, Instagram launches a whole separate app
for all non-gif, non-photo needs.
![Page 17: The Complete Guide to All of Instagram's Updates in the Last Year](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022030210/58a4efad1a28abd8548b6209/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
And then, winter came.
![Page 18: The Complete Guide to All of Instagram's Updates in the Last Year](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022030210/58a4efad1a28abd8548b6209/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
5 . A C C O U N T S W I T C H I N G
In February 2016, Insta implements the ability to switch
accounts from within the app without having to log out.
Social media managers the world over breathe a collective
sigh of relief.

6 . V I E W C O U N T S O N V I D E O S
Also in February 2016: video view count is introduced,
because that’s obviously a more accurate performance
barometer than likes. 💁

No one was prepared for this.

7 . A L G O R I T H M A N N O U N C E M E N T
In March 2016, Instagram plants the seed to change the feed,
announcing that photos will no longer appear in chronological order. Instead, the content will
surface according to what users “care about the most”.
Folks are not enthusiastic about this news.

After winter must come spring.

Stop.The.Presses.
May 2016 will forever go down in history as the month that
Instagram got a “new look”, aka changed its logo.
![Page 27: The Complete Guide to All of Instagram's Updates in the Last Year](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022030210/58a4efad1a28abd8548b6209/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Back at it again with summer.

1 1 . A L G O R I T H M L Y F E S E T S I N
In June 2016, the algorithm goes live for all users, as promised in March. Good thing humans are
an adaptable species.

1 3 . S T O R I E S
Paging Evan Spiegel. Oh, wait.
In August 2016, Instagram Stories drops. For all those share-worthy but not gallery-worthy moments, there’s now Stories, a Snapchat
redux (by Kevin’s own admission).
![Page 31: The Complete Guide to All of Instagram's Updates in the Last Year](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022030210/58a4efad1a28abd8548b6209/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
1 4 . C O M M E N T M O D E R AT I O N
In August 2016, Instagram states that a moderation
function is in the works to keep the platform a safe, positive place. Because shade ain’t
welcome here.
It goes live in September.
![Page 32: The Complete Guide to All of Instagram's Updates in the Last Year](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022030210/58a4efad1a28abd8548b6209/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
1 5 . Z O O M
Users had to wait long enough for this one: on August 31st, 2016, zooming in on posts is
finally possible. Folks no longer need to explain to their parents that no, they can’t get a close-
up because blah blah blah…
