\nInstagram is doing some more shuffling, and this time it\u2019ll affect your profile page.
The social media platform is testing new features throughout November and December, including vaguely announced changes to icons and buttons, and navigation between tabs.
It\u2019s not as dramatic an update as a redesigned Explore tab, or an algorithmic feed, but it\u2019s a small tweak.
In a blog post, Instagram said the grid displaying your photos and videos won\u2019t change at all, but the icons above the grid could be changing to words (grid, posts, IGTV, tagged).
Your profile picture could move to the right corner, pushing your username, in larger font, to the top of the page. It appears your followers and following will take less precedence than before, and the number of posts you\u2019ve made will no longer be present.
A side-by-side \u201cFollow\u201d and \u201cMessage\u201d button could be tested on profile pages, with even more options for business pages, including \u201cStart Order.\u201d
\u201cWe\u2019ve been working on these changes and will test them in phases and different combinations with our community over the next several weeks,\u201d the post reads. \u201cWe\u2019ll continue to experiment and update the experience as we learn from your feedback.\u201d
It\u2019s one of the more mild updates Instagram has rolled out over the last few months, since Instagram co-founders Kevin Systrom and Mike Krieger stepped down in September, and Facebook\u2019s former News Feed chief, Adam Mosseri, has took over as VP of Product.
In October and November alone, the platform announced a new daily usage tracking dashboard called Your Activity, three new shopping features, and a new \u201cnametag\u201d feature which is reminiscent Snapchat\u2019s Snap Codes.
The platform is also finally doing something to crack down on fake likes and followers, moving to remove follows, likes, and comments from shady third-party apps, and using machine learning to tackle bullying on its platform.
Sure, Instagram had a major outage on Tuesday. They weren\u2019t the only ones.<\/p>\n
