This could be the new look of Instagram
The social network Instagram is ready to change. Although it can be considered the most continuous social tool, with simple and simple visual tweaks to its design over the years, it seems that the time has come fora good facelift Or at least that is what emerges from the captures that have leaked through the Internet with a new design or interface, which breaks with the color we currently enjoy to focus on an even more marked minimalism, in black and white
The images filtered by users surprised by the change show a new visual aspect that draws attention, precisely because it does not draw attention at allAnd it is that the buttons, sections and graphic elements of Instagram become flatter, simpler and practically trivial both on the bottom bar of the application and on the edges of the screen. Something that could seek to highlight even more what is really important about the application: the contents.
These changes are noticeable in details such as the application icons, which have been redesigned with a more look minimalist, with hardly any details and on a color gray or black, depending on whether or not it has been clicked. Details that are especially noticeable in the camera icon that allows you to post new photos or videos on the social network, since it abandons the design of the application logo for that of a most recognizable camera
Based on the images viewed, there are also notable changes in the editing screen, where filters are applied to modify the appearance of the images. images. Here the tools to modify the contrast, attenuate the colors, apply the blur and others, gain in size , showing up in larger, more visible circles.
Finally, we should talk about the color of this new design. Or, rather, of its absence Thus, Instagram would abandon its characteristicblue for the elegant and sober tone black With this the application would become in black and white, standing out only for the photos and videos that are shown in it. Something that gives it a distinctive touch, but can also feel boring and too simplistic
This is a test design that Instagram is testing with a small group of users on everyone Something that those responsible for this application have already confirmed to various media as an experiment However, users surprised by This relatively radical change has not taken them long to share the screenshots to show the world what Instagram is up to.
Instagram should tread carefully on the ground of changes, and that is that its user community, which already exceeds 400 million active people per month, does not seem to be predisposed to changes. It already happened when the next changes were reported that would upset the chronological order of the user's wall, even opening signature pages for avoid change Now such a visible interface tweak can put users less willing to change back on the warpath.At the moment It is only a test aspect, so we will have to wait several weeks to see if it becomes a reality or not.
