You already know that factor the place proper after you open Instagram and faucet into no matter video has already been uploaded, a brand new video pops up and seemingly dumps the previous video into the void, by no means to be seen once more? That's a factor of the previous, in keeping with Instagram boss Adam Mosseri, who says in an AMA on his Instagram story yesterday that the app now waits so that you can scroll to point out you the brand new stuff.
That conduct — which Instagram apparently known as “carpet pulling” internally — wasn't only a bizarre bug. Mosseri says the app did it “as a result of we had been attempting to add new content material and it was taking some time, so we confirmed you one thing that was already downloaded within the meantime and is mostly good for engagement.”
However that's “very annoying,” he admits, “so we stopped doing that.”
Instagram bought “a bit little bit of dedication to it,” Mosseri concludes, saying it's a a lot better expertise for these of us who use the app.
