It's unfortunate how Instagram, as a very popular social network, has a very slow speed of improvement. Too many features missing, UI still has issues (not to mention the lack of a dark theme), the UX is just "weird" and the setting menu reminds me of Winphone settings: too cluttered, many useless buttons, and no icons!
On top of that, many times images won't just load. And Videos play automatically, consuming much internet traffic.
- JumpCrisscross 8y ago> lack of a dark theme Why should this be a priority for anyone?
- bhnmmhmd 8y agoThe same reason I use dark theme on HN as well.
- opencl 8y agoDark themes can provide significant energy efficiency improvements on OLED screens which are becoming increasingly popular. Though IG would probably benefit significantly less than text-heavy apps because the screen is mostly taken up by photos which aren't impacted by dark themes. https://www.anandtech.com/show/9394/analysing-amoled-power-efficiency https://www.anandtech.com/show/9394/analysing-amoled-power-e... This article is a bit old, but on the Galaxy S6 at full brightness displaying an image with 40% average picture level saves half a watt compared to full white.
- qmalzp 8y agoI completely disagree. One of the main reasons I prefer Instagram is precisely that it's not packed to the brim with features I don't use.
