Instagram is testing a Reels-first UI in India and South Korea


Instagram is testing a new Reels-first UI in India and South Korea to give short videos more prominence in the app.

Instagram has chosen India and South Korea to test a new interface that displays the app’s Reels page first. The new interface has Stories up top, like it did previously, but the DM button now lives on the navigation bar in the center, and the Reels tab will move to the second spot. Instagram said that while this redesign is being tested with a limited number of people, the company aims to roll it out globally.
