Instagram to Remove “Guides” Feature from Platform
Instagram has announced that it will be shelving its “Guides” feature next month. Introduced in 2020, Guides were designed to highlight themed content and offer a more interactive, engaging way to showcase in-depth material. However, the feature has not gained much traction and Instagram has decided to discontinue it. Existing Guides will be converted to Collections, which will provide a lesser replacement for the Guides format. If users have any Guides on their profiles, they are advised to download or update them into the Collections format.
