In recent times, Instagram has changed its user interface, it has become a TikTok knockoff after the exponential growth of the Chinese short video platform. Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg has said that the company is planning to double the amount of content from recommended accounts that people see while using Instagram and Facebook by the end of 2023. Giving recommendations for unfollowed accounts might reduce people’s interest in using the application.

If you prefer the good-old simple, clean version of Instagram, you have landed in the right place. In this post, we have compiled a list of the top five applications that offer a lighter and cleaner photo-sharing user experience.
