Instagram is a lovely application. It’s a place where I’m really popular, well, I am if you ask my non-tech savvy family about “that picture thing.” The service is known a lot because of its camera icon that you can see on every business card you get. Like twitter with its bird, or Facebook with it F thing, Instagram has defined itself by its brown camera app icon.
Sure, that app design has become a relic of a past age of iOS only applications, but as they say, “It is what it is.” But Instagram is about to enter the modern age, or at lest more modern app age starting today.
The world’s most popular camera app is adding some much-needed life to with not only an icon redesign, but some tweaks to its current feature set.
You can see all the details on this new change in the official video below and the statement from Instagram’s blog below that.
From the official Instagram blog:
Today we’re introducing a new look. You’ll see an updated icon and app design for Instagram. Inspired by the previous app icon, the new one represents a simpler camera and the rainbow lives on in gradient form.
You’ll also see updated icons for our other creative apps: Layout, Boomerang and Hyperlapse.
We’ve made improvements to how the Instagram app looks on the inside as well. The simpler design puts more focus on your photos and videos without changing how you navigate the app. .
The Instagram community has evolved over the past five years from a place to share filtered photos to so much more — a global community of interests sharing more than 80 million photos and videos every day. Our updated look reflects how vibrant and diverse your storytelling has become.
