I recall instagram was the first one to create the back option and snapchat quickly caught on, which in my opinion improved their user interface since now it is a lot more convenient for users to view the story they missed or want to see again by simply pressing the left side of the screen to go back to the previous snap/instagram story.
In conclusion, this addition onto the user interface really improved the whole UX of the app and made it a lot more convenient and easier for the users to view any snaps/story they like or missed.
Another feature I wanted to talk about is the private message feature. In the past, in order to show people a post, the users had to tag them on the comment. And sometimes if you tag a friend too much instagram might think youre spam and unable you to tag the person again. This is a huge problem since good friends often tag each other on posts alot and this feature made it extremely inconvenient. However after private messages were added to instagram, we only have to press one button in order to send the post as a message we can also send it to a group of people. All the user has to do is find those people, select them and then click send. What makes it even better is that the history is saved so if you have a certain group of people you share posts with itll be on the suggestion and a simple click will allow you to share the posts to them.
This feature in my opinion improved instagrams UX in a massive way. It was sort 2 problems at once; the spam problem and the inconvenience and slow speed of tagging people one by one. There was also another problem because many users dont use their real name and their instagram name is often forgotten. Hence, instagram made it alot easier for users to tag people in posts and talk about the post as well. As before after tagging your friends on the comment, if they wanted to reply theyll have to tag you back and it just becomes really tiresome and annoying to talk about the post. But now you simply reply in the chat box with your friends and theres no need to tag each other again and again.
In conclusion, I personally think that this addition of private messages and the ability to share posts within the conversation is an extremely good UX and made sharing posts exponentially easier than what it used to be.
