Instagram changes icon and interface: do you like it?

    The biggest Instagram revolution has begun: the popular social network application dedicated to photography and short videos has undergone an update that has literally divided users into two factions, those pro to change and those who just haven't digested the new look. How is the new Instagram icon? Well… it's pink! Indeed, actually it is pink and purple and yellow and orange. Now I show it to you compared to the old icon:

    It's definitely different and someone also wanted to make a joke about how this story really went:

    Seriously, the update kicked off this morning launching a radical redesign of the mobile app that includes not only a new app icon but also a revamped user interface which eliminates color in favor of a black and white appearance. Here are some pictures:

    Instagram's interest with this update of the icon and in the look is to better reflect how its community has changed over time:


    “When Instagram was founded over five years ago, it was a place for you to easily edit and share photos. Over the course of these five years, things have changed "

    says Ian Spalter, Head of Design at Instagram.


    "Instagram is now a community of diverse interests with people sharing more photos and videos than ever before, using new tools like Boomerang and new filters, through a new way of exploring!"

    There are actually other minor changes under the hood as well: for example, Instagram now uses the same standard components, such as fonts and templates, in both iOS and Android. But the real news is that the application is simply a cleaner version of the previous one, much more modern and that - like all changes - takes some time to get used to. I personally approve of this change, and you?
