All story posts are now grouped besides your main posts for a clearer view of your content. This update brings everything under one roof, improving clarity and organisation.
Moved the Saved button from the More section to your profile page for easier access. Since it’s a frequently used feature, this change improves visibility and convenience, allowing you to quickly access your saved content.
The search icon now directly opens the search function, while the explore tab has a distinct new icon. This update eliminates confusion and helps you easily distinguish between searching and exploring content.
Moved the Messages icon to the bottom navigation bar and replaced the Reels icon. Since Messages is used more frequently, this change makes it more accessible. Enjoy easier access to your most-used features.
Replaced the Create icon with the Explore icon. The Create icon now resides on the Account page, where it aligns with content management and future uploads. This change enhances navigation by better reflecting the purpose of each page.
Added a pause icon to videos, allowing you to pause playback easily. This feature is especially useful for taking screenshots or reviewing content without interruptions. It enhances video control and improves your overall viewing experience.
