The photography social network par excellence was born mobile and continues to put all the meat on the grill on portable platforms. However, Instagram has from time to time experimented with the web, offering users a reflection of their profiles or the possibility of enjoying its contents through a computer screen. Something comfortable in some specific situations, but which continues to leave aside the management of this social network from the web, an issue that many would like.In any case, Instagram does not forget this web version, retouching and updating it to the latest running times.
Thus, the social network has a new look on the web, a change compared to past versions that, however, is it remains aesthetic. Far away is the possibility of uploading photos from your computer or publishing any content Of course, it is a most remarkable and colorful facelift, betting on minimalism and leaving all the prominence to the images, which are now larger and no frames that distract the attention of users who visit this web version
The changes may seem subtle to the untrained eye, but the before and after is most noticeable. In the first place because of the larger size of the images, which makes them the objects of greatest attention on these new pages.All this now in columns of three, instead of the old version with up to five images. Something that elongates the grid and allows to focus even more attention on each photo or video, as well as allowing it to be enlarged in any format and screen size.
Apart from this, we have eliminated all the frames, dividing lines and other superfluous elements that sought to differentiate sections, photographs and the rest of web background elements. Now the design is much more clean and minimalist, placing all the elements on the background without any kind of visual aid. Something that applies both to the user profile, which doesn't even have the photo collage at the top, as well as when clicking on any tag or hashtag, displaying related images in the same clean and simple grid format.
The user's wall does have some other element apart from the image. In this way it is possible to review the photos published by the contacts that are followed and see them differentiated from each other thanks to the card format. Thus, the content is delimited, differentiating well between the photos and the comments of some users and others. Although all this betting on white and gray lines very simple and clean
In this way, Instagram cleans up the face of its web version, looking for similarities with mobile applications and improving your experience. Perhaps a step prior to giving more options to users, or a mere strategy to allow total comfort to those who are not users and consult profiles from the web or through the mobile Internet browser
