Instagram CEO says photos will always be ‘important’ for the app

Last year, Instagram CEO Adam Mosseri made it clear that the social media platform wasn’t a “square photo-sharing app” and that the focus would be on videos. This didn’t go down well with a lot of photographers. In a question asked on his Instagram Stories, Moses said, “I think we were overfocussed on video in 2022 and pushed ranking too far and basically showed too many videos and not enough photos. We definitely have a number of photographers who have been upset.”
