Instagram's New Blend Feature: Users React with "Nobody Wants This"

Not long ago, Instagram introduced a new capability enabling users to set up an exclusive feed for Instagram Reels, which can be accessed solely by friends they have specifically invited.

Immediately following Instagram's release of this new feature, Instagram Users turned to social media platforms to mock Instagram authorities' judgment. The majority of these users deemed the new blending feature pointless and responded with amusing memes and remarks.

Internet users mock Instagram’s new Blend feature, which allows for the creation of private Reel feeds.

Yet another pointless addition (through horejsiii/ X)

Internet users have pointed out that Instagram has recently introduced unnecessary features, with the latest being the so-called “blend” function. It seems like just another futile addition. People can’t help but wonder, “Does anyone actually find this superfluous feature useful?”

Think back to when Instagram was solely focused on sharing images? Users liked @MsAnjaliB believed that Instagram was completely deviating from its main objective by introducing unnecessary features that provided no value to the users!

Instagram was meant to be solely for pictures. Now it feels like a task.

Meta is essentially planning to set a precedent for rolling out strange updates that no one is asking for! There have been so many useless updates rolled out across all their platforms, one right after another! @TheBashBryan commented.

Meta is known for implementing the most irrelevant and arbitrary updates.

Comments revealed that no Instagram user will be interested in exploring the new update Instagram has announced! It’s going to add nothing to one’s user experience. @NextlvlCash couldn't care enough.

Nah dude, we should have an 'I don't care' choice.

Finally, here’s someone who remains hopeful regarding the update. @HaytonsGB commented.

Blend feels like a cool vibe, to be honest. I'm keeping my group feed neat.

@PixelSavages shared that they have left Instagram because it is introducing new updates that do not align with what users originally intended for the platform, and it appears that Instagram is copying TikTok’s features!

It was pointless. I exited Instagram once it started mimicking TikTok.

It would have been much more beneficial if Instagram informed us about who views our profile and activity rather than constantly adding new features! @LILROMANXDRAPS

They're doing almost everything except for telling us who our followers are.

@tayrianapop wanted the notes feature to be back. After all, it allowed you to share what's on your mind related to a post or reel without having to share it to your story.

"bring back notes pleek"

@himxed is puzzled about what the new update holds but nodding together nonetheless.

I'm bobbing my head as if I get it.

The new additions made by Instagram have left users feeling both let down and bewildered! Here's hoping for better things ahead. Meta evaluates user preferences accurately and introduces new features based on those insights!
