Instagram is revisiting recent changes made on its social networking service, including an expanded focus on videos, like Reels, and recommended posts, after a pushback from users and popular celebrities.

Kylie Jenner and Kim Kardashian shared a post with hundreds of millions of their followers calling for Instagram to stop “trying to be TikTok.” The sisters, and mega influencers, have a combined Instagram following of 686 million users.
