Instagram has apologised after a test feature was accidentally rolled out to millions of people using its app.
People quickly took to Twitter to voice their opinion on the update… and not much of the feedback was positive.
Has Instagram lost its mind? I am not tinder swiping through everyone’s posts 🤔😒 #instagramupdate

The unwelcome update which was compared to the layout of dating app Tinder, was live for about an hour before it was rolled back.
In a tweet, Instagram’s head of product Adam Mosseri said: “Sorry about that, this was supposed to be a very small test but we went broader than we anticipated.”
Instagram user Elise Michelle called it: “By far the worst update in Instagram history.”
