The Instagram icon can now be changed, but not for all accounts
Meta announced a new feature for Instagram teenage accounts - the ability to change the app icon to one of six unique themes. This innovation allows young users to personalize the look of Instagram on their smartphone, highlighting their own style and mood.
The new designs - "fire," "flora," "chrome," "space," and "slime" - were created in collaboration with illustrator Carlos Oliveras Colom and Instagram's internal design team. They are exclusively available for Teen Accounts - a special type of account for users under 18 years old (according to the data entered during profile creation).
To activate the new icon, simply tap on the Instagram logo at the top of the app's main screen. The feature is available starting today.
Instagram demonstrates a commitment to giving young users more tools for self-expression and active engagement with the platform.
The illustrator Carlos Oliveras Colom himself commented: "I'm pleased to have been entrusted with creating something fun. If I were a teenager, I would change the icon every day depending on my mood or the atmosphere I want to create”.
