I've been using Instagram mods for over 5 years, but the one I've been on longest stopped getting updated in 2023. So, yesterday, I switched to a different mod that's based on one of the latest app versions. This means three years of changes all at once.

Some of these changes leave me perplexed:
1. When you open a post from a DM, it opens full-screen like a reel. Even if it's just a post
2. You seemingly can't see the complete list of people who liked a reel
3. They moved buttons around AGAIN

I keep tapping the top right corner to get to DMs, but they're now in the bottom bar *and* use a different icon. This is what I mean when I say you as a developer or designer should never mess with users' muscle memory.

And please don't tell me to stop using Instagram. That's a choice reserved for people who have a life. Once I do get a life, I'll be happy to only remember about the internet as a whole only a couple times a day.

I can appreciate the candour.
