In a redesign set to go live next month, Instagram will remove the Shop tab and shift Reels to the app’s primary focus.
Instagram Redesigning Navigation
After years of confusing updates meant to promote various products like Instagram Shop and Reels, Instagram has announced it will reorganize the app navigation interface. They indicate that beginning in February, the Instagram Compose button (plus sign “+”) will once again be placed in the centre of the app’s bottom navigation bar, replacing the Shop tab.
Due to this change, the Reels button is being relocated towards the end right of the Compose button.
Instagram customers felt that they were being forced to utilize the company’s new products by the earlier modifications that prioritized Reels over Compose.
