Some users, after opening Instagram's official application on the phone could have experienced a big shock some hours ago. Instagram provided access to the new look of the application for limited group of users, and previously company hasn't spoken about this change to the public yet. More specifically, we talk about modification in main page of the application that is not scrolled from top to bottom of screen, but moved to the left or right. Photos can changed only by moving the finger from the left or right, respectively. Instagram immediately commented this situation.

In the official statement of company we can read that firm apologizes for the confusion caused by these changes and so far potential modifications in app are in the testing phase. It is still not known whether this solution will be permanently added to the application, but it is possible. At the moment, all users who have received new appearance of the home page in the application have lost access to it and application again looks like it did before. Resignation from scrolling between photos would be a revolutionary step that would distinguish Instagram from other social networking sites including Facebook.
