Adam Mosseri revealed Instagram is testing a new menu bar layout for some users. The test involves dedicated tabs for Reels and DMs, reflecting their popularity. This optional test rearranges the feed, search, create post, Reels, and profile tabs. The new layout swaps search and Reels, and replaces the create post tab with DMs. Swiping between tabs is also possible with the new design. Mosseri acknowledges user adaptation to these changes may require time. Meta has been prioritizing messaging and short-form videos for growth. A similar tab redesign was previously tested with Indian users featuring Reels and DMs. Instagram's shift prioritizes content consumption and private group chats. This change reflects evolving social media trends and user behavior.
