Instagram Waves Goodbye to Guides Feature: What It Means for Your IG Game!

Big news in the Instagram world – the platform is hitting the reset button on its ‘Guides’ feature come December 15th, giving way to the rise of ‘Collections.’ If your reaction is a collective ‘huh?’—you’re not alone.

Introduced in 2020, Guides was Instagram’s attempt at a cooler, more immersive way to showcase themed content. It was like a digital scrapbook, letting creators share detailed material with snappy descriptions and even post it up on Stories for more reach.

But here’s the plot twist: Instagram is pulling the plug on Guides, not because it’s being bullied off the digital playground, but simply because not enough folks were into it. Turns out, the Pinterest-style, brochure-ish vibe just didn’t vibe with the Instagram crowd.

So, if your profile’s got a Guides collection gathering digital dust, it’s time to spruce things up. Download or give a quick makeover to your guides to fit the new Collections vibe before the clock strikes December 15th. Change is inevitable, but hey, who knows, maybe Collections will be the next big thing. Keep your eyes peeled for this new Instagram update!
