Instagram changes its look: new logo and graphics

For Instagram is time for a change: off the old logo and the previous graphics and room for the new logo, or rather, new logos, as the graphic renewal concerns all four app developed by the managers of the popular social network photo sharing: Instagram, Hyperlapse, Boomerang and Layout. Introduced, simultaneously, some changes in the user interface look and feel of the app for Android and iOS.

The color is the element that drives the transformation of the style of logos and interface. In the first, the color becomes the dominant element in the second moves back to leave space to the color of the photos and videos that users of the community to share Instagram.

Color combined with a graphical approach that is essential, in accordance with the increasingly popular trend of flat interfaces. The unmistakable icon that resembled very closely the Polaroid, gives way to a new one that abandons the descriptive style merely to suggest the link with the past. Rainbow theme, taken from the previous icon is expanded and becomes the symbol of the different expressions of the diverse community of Instagram users.

Ian Spalter, design manager of Instagram portrays in these words the two dominant themes of color and the rainbow.

The first redesign of the Instagram logo, introduced five years after the creation of social networks, plus an interface renewal of the Mobile Application:

While the icon is a colorful gateway app Instagram, once inside the app, we believe that the color should come directly from the photos and videos of the community - says Ian Spalter

Starting from this premise, the UI colors have been kept to a minimum: for example, the upper top bar is no longer blue, but white. The interface of the app on Android and iOS has also been updated by aligning the graphic style with what currently distinguishes the native UI for both platforms. A removal of the interface blue color which can also be read as an element of formal separation between Instagram and Facebook, which acquired the social network in 2012.

Apple’s AI Push: Everything We Know About Apple Intelligence So Far

Apple’s WWDC 2025 confirmed what many suspected: Apple is finally making a serious leap into artificial intelligence. Dubbed “Apple Intelligence,” the suite of AI-powered tools, enhancements, and integrations marks the company’s biggest software evolution in a decade. But unlike competitors racing to plug AI into everything, Apple is taking a slower, more deliberate approach — one rooted in privacy, on-device processing, and ecosystem synergy. If you’re wondering what Apple Intelligence actually is, how it works, and what it means for your iPhone, iPad, or Mac, you’re in the right place. This article breaks it all down.   What Is Apple Intelligence? Let’s get the terminology clear first. Apple Intelligence isn’t a product — it’s a platform. It’s not just a chatbot. It’s a system-wide integration of generative AI, machine learning, and personal context awareness, embedded across Apple’s OS platforms. Think of it as a foundational AI layer stitched into iOS 18, iPadOS 18, and m...

The Silent Revolution of On-Device AI: Why the Cloud Is No Longer King

Introduction For years, artificial intelligence has meant one thing: the cloud. Whether you’re asking ChatGPT a question, editing a photo with AI tools, or getting recommendations on Netflix — those decisions happen on distant servers, not your device. But that’s changing. Thanks to major advances in silicon, model compression, and memory architecture, AI is quietly migrating from giant data centres to the palm of your hand. Your phone, your laptop, your smartwatch — all are becoming AI engines in their own right. It’s a shift that redefines not just how AI works, but who controls it, how private it is, and what it can do for you. This article explores the rise of on-device AI — how it works, why it matters, and why the cloud’s days as the centre of the AI universe might be numbered. What Is On-Device AI? On-device AI refers to machine learning models that run locally on your smartphone, tablet, laptop, or edge device — without needing constant access to the cloud. In practi...
