If you intentionally obscure a feature, people won’t use it.
If you make it the default, they will.just like they forced reels on everyone by pushing it in the algorithm to later say “see! everyone wants reels now, they don’t want photos anymore!”
If you expect privacy with any meta product you are insane to begin with.
If people thought TikToks invasion of privacy was bad, wait until they realize how bad meta products are
It’s the default on Messenger so I’m not sure why it wasn’t made the default on Instagram.
You had to manually turn it on. It was buried in settings, and it created 2 separate chats. Of course nobody used it. I only found out about it a month ago
It’s really interesting that even with occasional usage of the app not once has this setting been mentioned or brought up for me. Why remove it?
No point supporting it if no one uses it.
I think I phrased it wrong. I meant more like why don’t they at least try to promote the feature instead of just outright removing it? Feels like they never gave it a fair chance.
I‘m surprised they even had that. The average Instagram user probably doesn‘t even know what that means.
Next, WhatsApp loses this “rarely used” feature also
Sorry guys, my fault. Zuck just thought my beautiful dick pics shouldn’t be hidden from the world any longer
Yeah, I’m sure that’s the real reason. And all the convenience for spying on users to collect data for targeted advertising is just a side effect.
Everyone would use it if that’s just the only way it worked. I don’t need to turn e2ee in Signal on. It’s always on. There’s no way to turn it off. So, everyone uses it. The only reason to make people jump through hoops to turn it on is if you don’t actually want people using it.
blocked so many bot accounts, think i broke something. permaban without usual ‘community standards’ excuse. fuc zuc
