This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at UCSB chapter.

I was scrolling through my apps to open Instagram for the 1000000th time one a day in recent history and was shocked to discover that one of the world’s most popular photo-sharing apps had made quite a few dramatic changes. Judging by all of the buzz on the internet, every single Instagram user took notice too. Here are the best reactions to the app’s new changes:

That new shade of red, though.

Apparently you can’t make the push notifications happen.

Most feedback has been about the logo change. Theories have been formulated on how it was created. This is one…

… here’s another…

… and another.

Some would say the new logo is a glo up.

But some people hate it.

Others think it might be only appropriate for select audiences.

And then there are those who are indifferent.

There are even some who already feel old because of the update. #90skids

Despite the differences in opinion, there’s one thing we can agree on: we’re pretty sure everyone will go on using the app. Life without Insta? Un. fa. thom. a. ble.

Hi, Collegiettes! I'm Carmen, a Communication major at University of California, Santa Barbara and one of two Campus Correspondents for UCSB. I would love to one day work in either fashion, food, tech, financial services or philanthropy. My dream is to find a job that somehow combines several of those elements. Until I get there, I'll be munching on copious amounts of Trader Joe's dried mango, jamming out to my man, Frank Sinatra, and focusing on creating intriguing content! If you like my writing, talk to me. ;)
