Instagram search is my daily frustration. 100% of the time I search I’m looking for a user’s account. Type type type, see the user come up in results, go to tap but now they’ve loaded in 10 possible autocomplete options for my search, pushing the thing I want off the screen. And of course now I’m in the “explore” page with a search term I don’t want, taking a bunch more taps to get where I need to go.
I agree with others that I think the incentives are against the user here. In the IG case they don’t care if I find my friend quickly. It does not help them in any way. But hey they got a click on the autocomplete suggestions (win for that PM) AND another view on the explore page. Clearly I love these features!
- lame-robot-hoax 4y agoThis pisses me off more than it should. I’ve slowly gotten better at not immediately clicking on the account (which ends up with me clicking on the search result that shows there instead) but every time I forget I get unreasonably mad.
