And though I\u2019ll admit, the breakfast option does look tasty, I\u2019d much rather see still images \u2014 that&#8217;s right, <em>not videos!<\/em> \u2014 and my friends, <span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">not oats<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">It turns out, Kylie Jenner, the second biggest person in the world on Instagram with 361 million followers (soccer player Christiano Ronaldo is first place), agrees. On Tuesday night, Jenner shared an infographic about the app\u2019s changes which had been doing the rounds all day since being first shared by photographer Tati Bruening, who goes by @illumitati. It reads, \u201cMake Instagram Instagram Again (stop trying to be TikTok, I just want to see cute photos of my friends.) Sincerely, Everyone.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignfull-width wp-image-218373 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/d74325f9af08e75b8004c1aa7670113b58-kylie-vs-ig.2x.rvertical.w570.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1280\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Soon after, Jenner&#8217;s older sister Kim Kardashian, who boasts a cool 326m, shared the same thing. So too did Chrissy Teigen and James Charles.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Now, given the last time Jenner criticized an app, when in 2018 she <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/kyliejenner\/status\/966429897118728192?s=21&amp;t=m5eSGUq5M2FinhQuhq3OVA\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">tweeted<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">: \u201csooo does anyone else not open Snapchat anymore? Or is it just me \u2026\u201d, the company <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2018-02-22\/snap-royalty-kylie-jenner-erased-a-billion-dollars-in-one-tweet\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">lost<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> over $1 billion, we\u2019d say her plea will be taken pretty seriously by the people at the top.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In fact, though he didn\u2019t mention Jenner, nor the Change.org petition that was started with the same demands, Instagram\u2019s head and former Facebook exec Adam Mosseri shared a timely video addressing the updates.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">During a two-minute video, Mosseri claimed the changes were put in place to create a \u201cbetter experience\u201d and are still being tested to justify why feeds are either out of order and\/or showing \u201crecommended\u201d content instead of peoples\u2019 actual followings, impacting engagement.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cNow, if you\u2019re seeing things in your Feed that are recommendations that you\u2019re not interested in, that means that we\u2019re doing a bad job ranking,\u201d he explained. \u201cAnd we need to improve.\u201d He added that Instagram thinks the recommendations feature \u201cis one of the most effective and important ways to help creators reach more people.\u201d Mosseri, if you&#8217;re listening, no more oats, please, I&#8217;m begging you.
