'TikTok-like features' on Instagram will be suspended

According to a report, Instagram will stop features that users have lobbied against and said made the social network too similar to TikTok.

Kim Kardashian and Kylie Jenner, famous sisters, were among the most outspoken users this week who wrote messages on social media urging the firm to “make Instagram Instagram again” and quit attempting to compete with TikTok.

The catchphrase originated from a Change.org petition that, as of late Thursday, had amassed more than 229,000 signatories. For goodness’ sake, “let’s get back to our origins with Instagram and remember that the idea behind Instagram was to share images.”

In a video posted to Twitter earlier this week, Instagram CEO Adam Mosseri addressed the criticism and stated that the features were still being developed and were being tested on a limited group of users.

The short-form video was given more attention, shown on full-screen as on TikTok, and posts from random people were recommended. We’ll need to embrace that transformation, she said. In an earnings call on Wednesday, Mark Zuckerberg, the CEO of Meta, backed up that assertion by stating that more people are viewing videos online.
