> The only matching icons I can see are the heart shape (hardly original) and the speech bubble for commenting (also hardly original). Nearly everything I’m seeing was pretty clearly cribbed from IG‘s UI throughout the years.

And their use of the navigator icon for discover is also a play on an even older IG interface. Dunno if it’s enough for a suit but it’s pretty, uh, direct.
