Instagram gets new icon, black & white app interface

Instagram has received a visual overhaul to its app, including a new icon and simpler design for Android and iOS devices.

The new app icon represents a simpler camera against a rainbow gradiant and the rainbow lives on in gradient form. Instagram has also changed the icon design to its other apps: Layout, Boomerang and Hyperlapse.

The latest update also brings a black and white interface instead of the usual blue and colorful theme. All the text will now appear in black, while notification will pop up in red color. Instagram said that the simple design will put more focus on photos and videos.

“Our updated look reflects how vibrant and diverse your storytelling has become. The simpler design puts more focus on your photos and videos,” said Instagram.

To get the new app icon and looks go to the Google Play Store and Apple App Store and update the Instagram app.
