As of this week, Instagram will abandon one of its popular features by removing the Follow tab, according to Buzzfeed News reports.
The Following tab lets you know what your Instagram followers are doing and likes. This tab can be accessed by clicking the heart tab on the app´s home page, which is on the same tab where the user can see the interactions of their followers with their posts or comments.
After you abandon the Following tab, when you click the heart icon in the bottom bar of the home page, the user will see only their respective notifications, there will be no You and Following sections, but there is one option titled Activity.
Vishal Shah of Instagram told Buzzfeed News that the company has decided to abandon the Following tab because it will not get widespread user interest.
