INSTAGRAM REDESIGNS IPAD APP TO WHAT IT ALWAYS SHOULD HAVE BEEN

Summary from the TLDR Design newsletter

Instagram has redesigned its long-awaited iPad app to closely match the iPhone experience after users disliked the original Reels-focused layout introduced last fall. The update restores the standard Home feed, moves Reels back to a separate tab, removes the confusing “Following” tab, and generally makes the app feel like a larger-screen version of Instagram for iPhone—something many users felt it should have been from the start.
