Like you\u2019re going to make a video chastising Instagram for losing sight of photo sharing? It\u2019s like making a video that blogging isn\u2019t dead yet and is a healthy and vibrant publishing medium. Um\u2026why not write it? Or in Instagram\u2019s case, publish a photo?\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve been using Instagram again but via an online social media publishing tool and haven\u2019t once installed the app at least not since Facebook bought it 10 years ago. I guess posting photos is not cool anymore. If Instagram is dead and everything is just video, where does one share photos?\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span hidden class=\"__iawmlf-post-loop-links\" data-iawmlf-links=\"[{&quot;id&quot;:977,&quot;href&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/techcrunch.com\\\/2022\\\/07\\\/26\\\/instagram-feed-changes-adam-mosseri-reels&quot;,&quot;archived_href&quot;:&quot;http:\\\/\\\/web-wp.archive.org\\\/web\\\/20250924174256\\\/https:\\\/\\\/techcrunch.com\\\/2022\\\/07\\\/26\\\/instagram-feed-changes-adam-mosseri-reels\\\/&quot;,&quot;redirect_href&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;checks&quot;:[{&quot;date&quot;:&quot;2025-11-03 17:52:22&quot;,&quot;http_code&quot;:200},{&quot;date&quot;:&quot;2025-11-25 11:01:50&quot;,&quot;http_code&quot;:200},{&quot;date&quot;:&quot;2025-12-10 07:09:44&quot;,&quot;http_code&quot;:200},{&quot;date&quot;:&quot;2026-01-02 04:34:18&quot;,&quot;http_code&quot;:200},{&quot;date&quot;:&quot;2026-01-09 23:10:06&quot;,&quot;http_code&quot;:200},{&quot;date&quot;:&quot;2026-03-05 14:10:37&quot;,&quot;http_code&quot;:200},{&quot;date&quot;:&quot;2026-03-24 01:35:56&quot;,&quot;http_code&quot;:200},{&quot;date&quot;:&quot;2026-04-07 10:00:43&quot;,&quot;http_code&quot;:200},{&quot;date&quot;:&quot;2026-05-02 05:08:33&quot;,&quot;http_code&quot;:200},{&quot;date&quot;:&quot;2026-06-08 15:27:45&quot;,&quot;http_code&quot;:200}],&quot;broken&quot;:false,&quot;last_checked&quot;:{&quot;date&quot;:&quot;2026-06-08 15:27:45&quot;,&quot;http_code&quot;:200},&quot;process&quot;:&quot;done&quot;}]\"><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Via TechCrunch: Instagram head Adam Mosseri posted a video this morning addressing mounting concerns about changes to the&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"advanced_seo_description":"","jetpack_seo_html_title":"","jetpack_seo_noindex":false,"apple_news_api_created_at":"2022-07-26T19:53:32Z","apple_news_api_id":"4d152ad1-f656-454f-a74b-cb3b9644374a","apple_news_api_modified_at":"2022-07-26T19:53:33Z","apple_news_api_revision":"AAAAAAAAAAD\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/w==","apple_news_api_share_url":"https:\/\/apple.news\/ATRUq0fZWRU-nS8s7lkQ3Sg","apple_news_cover_media_provider":"image","apple_news_coverimage":0,"apple_news_coverimage_caption":"","apple_news_cover_video_id":0,"apple_news_cover_video_url":"","apple_news_cover_embedwebvideo_url":"","apple_news_is_hidden":"","apple_news_is_paid":"","apple_news_is_preview":"","apple_news_is_sponsored":"","apple_news_maturity_rating":"","apple_news_metadata":"\"\"","apple_news_pullquote":"","apple_news_pullquote_position":"","apple_news_slug":"","apple_news_sections":[],"apple_news_suppress_video_url":false,"apple_news_use_image_component":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"csco_singular_sidebar":"","csco_page_header_type":"","csco_custom_appearance":"","csco_disable_excerpt_posts_layout":false,"csco_page_load_nextpost":"","csco_post_video_location":[],"csco_post_video_location_hash":"","csco_post_video_url":"","csco_post_video_bg_start_time":0,"csco_post_video_bg_end_time":0,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-8732","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","category-linked","cs-entry","cs-video-wrap"],"apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/pb3IC4-2gQ","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":2582,"url":"https:\/\/adamchandler.me\/blog\/2011\/06\/15\/facebooks-secret-photo-sharing-app\/","url_meta":{"origin":8732,"position":0},"title":"\u2605 &#8220;Facebook\u2019s Secret Photo Sharing App&#8221;","author":"Adam Chandler","date":"June 15, 2011","format":false,"excerpt":"TechCrunch: The app seems to be a combination of Instagram, Color, Path, and even Path\u2019s new side project,\u00a0With.
