The company is updating its comments so users can like each other's comments on posts, the Facebook-owned company reported on Tuesday. The app is likewise adding the capacity to turn off commenting on specific posts and remove followers from private accounts without using the block button.

The ‘Zuker’ Effect

Facebook-owned Instagram is currently turning out to be more similar to Facebook. The new algorithm sorts posts in view of "the likelihood you'll be occupied with the content, your relationship with the individual posting, and the timeliness of the post".

Merry-Go-Round

There’s a bit of backlash from users who now believe their posts will turn into a ‘Merry-Go-Round’. Many instagram users have asked their followers to turn on their post notifications so that every time they update something new—the user will get a notification. Nonetheless, Instagram is going ahead with the update which will give more head to the ‘timeliness’ of the post (Exactly like Facebook).

Small business owners are worried that their post will get lost as big brands climb high with followers. To be true—they should be.

The Rift of ‘Why’

Many are already jumping to the conclusion that the change comes after the spat between singer Taylor Swift and Rapper-Celebrity Duo Kanye West and Kim Kardashian West, but Instagram declined to comment if that was the reason, but that "high profile accounts will also be the first to get the feature as it goes live in the coming weeks," WSJ reported.
