Instagram Testing Out Design Changes To User Profiles

Instagram’s design has evolved over the years, and as expected of most developers, changes are constantly being made to help improve on the look and feel of the app. In fact in a post by Instagram, the company has confirmed that they are testing out some design changes to the user’s profile page where they’ll be shifting some of the UI elements around.

According to Instagram, “Over the next several weeks, you may see features re-arranged at the top of your profile including changes to icons, buttons and the way you navigate between tabs, which we hope will make profiles easier and cleaner to use. The photos and videos you’ve shared on your grid won’t change.”

The company adds that these are tests and that what you see in the screenshots above might not necessarily be the final product as they’ll be trying various combinations to see what’s right. “We’ve been working on these changes and will test them in phases and different combinations with our community over the next several weeks. We’ll continue to experiment and update the experience as we learn from your feedback.”

It is unclear if any of these changes will actually be implemented, but if you are an avid Instagram user, don’t be surprised if your profile page is looking a bit different from what you’ve been used to.
