In the new version of the app users should have scrolled the news feed from left to right instead of scrolling up and down. Outraged comments on social media from unhappy users were not long in coming, however. Around half an hour later, Instagram reverted the interface back to the old format.

However, some of the users expressed a desire to try the new version of the app, claiming that a lot of people are just "afraid of something new."

I didn't get to try it, being an alpha tester and all, but I'd like to see how it works, people complain about it without trying for at least a day or two. Also we really need a dark theme.
