Facebook & Instagram Will Be Rolling Out Tweaked Newsfeed & Comments To Make Them Easier To Use
The two apps are being modified to largely make them more easily legible.
Facebook is has announced a redesign for its two most popular apps, Facebook and Instagram. The two are both receiving changes to make them more visually appealing, as well as easier to comprehend at first glance.
Facebook is losing the blue header and trims across most of the app¡¯s interface, which they¡¯re saying will make it easier to navigate and more consistent. Additionally, the comments are being changed to look more like chats in Messenger. Instead simple line breaks, each comment will get its own gray bubble
Even profile pictures are changing from squares to circles, more like how Twitter¡¯s design is. Lastly, the Like, Comment, and Share buttons have been made slightly larger, to make them easier to click, and are being decolorised save for an outline.
Instagram meanwhile, has its redesign focused on comments. Comments on each image will now be organised into threads, just like on the Facebook app. That way, differentiating between a new comment and a reply to someone else¡¯s comment should be easier.
