Journal 3 - Instagram Defects

Jozzel Esqueda 05/9/2020

Instagram was cool before it added stories and removed the feature where you can check other people’s activity.

While watching a person’s instagram story, as soon as their story ends it automatically plays the next persons ig story. This feautre is ineffecient because if I am watching a certain person’s story, it doesn’t neccessarily mean I want to watch the next person’s story.

One should have the option to watch the next person’s story.

Before instagram added the stories feature, it had another feature where you can see other people’s activity. With this feature you were able to see what photos the people you’re following liked or commented on, who they started followng and at what times they were doing this.

It was learnable and error tolerant. For the couples in a rocky relationship, you were able to find out what pictures your significant other was liking/commenting on, whether they were ignoring your text messages yet active on ig, and verify this all on instagram by sliding your finger on the notification tab.
