It was all a test for a modification that Instagram’s been thinking about to do away with the up-and-down swipe that’s ended up being the basic method we scroll through almost whatever in the modern-day age. Instead, Instagram’s been considering having individuals scroll side to side or tap to go through their feed.

Sorry about that, this was expected to be a really little test however we went more comprehensive than we prepared for.
