Facebook is testing major changes to Instagram to make it more like TikTok

Posted on July 1, 2021 By Haris Daniyel

Facebook representatives from Instagram have announced that social networks plan to show users full-screen, recommended videos in their feeds.

“We’re also going to be experimenting with how do we embrace video more broadly — full screen, immersive, entertaining, mobile-first video,” Mosseri said in a video posted on Wednesday. “You’ll see us do a number of things, or experiment with a number of things in this space over the coming months.”

Specifically, Mosseri said Instagram has plans to show users full-screen videos in their feeds. This includes videos it recommends to users, including those from accounts they do not already follow. Users will start to see Instagram’s experiments with these changes over the coming months, he said.

“We’re no longer a photo-sharing app or a square photo-sharing app,” Mosseri said.

This shows a dramatic change in Instagram, which until now was primarily an app that allowed users to see square images of their friends and accounts that they were following. Changes in content presentations will force Instagram to compete more directly with China-owned TikTok, a startup in the social app market.

Mosseri emphasized TikTok as well as Google-owned YouTube, with serious competitors and for reasons of such changes.

“Let’s be honest, there’s some really serious competition right now,” he said. “TikTok is huge, YouTube is even bigger, and there’s lots of other upstarts as well.”

Already, Instagram has made competing with TikTok a priority by launching Reels in August 2020. Reels is a short-form video feature that allows Instagram users to create content with overlaid audio and augmented reality effects, much as they already can on TikTok.

“People are looking to Instagram to be entertained, there’s stiff competition and there’s more to do,” Mosseri said. “We have to embrace that, and that means change.”
