Instagram is testing a new Stories interface for desktop users


Is Instagram heading towards a design more adapted to computer users? — AFP

To celebrate the New Year, Instagram has decided to give its Stories design a makeover. The visually-focused social network is currently trialing a new carousel presentation for its desktop version. This new feature should make it easier for you to browse Instagram Stories on your computer.

While Instagram’s desktop version is still essentially a wider version of the mobile app, the platform seems to be moving towards offering a design more adapted to computer users. According to Engadget, under the test version, the Stories appear in a carousel that allows users to preview upcoming content and view the previous Stories already consulted. It’s a more practical approach for users to know what they have already watched.
