Instagram’s upcoming update shuffles the navigation bar, hiding the Shop tab, making Create more accessible.

Head of Instagram, Adam Mosseri announces a new update coming to Instagram in February.

In markets where shopping is available on Instagram, the navigation bar along the bottom currently reads (left to right): Home, Search, Reels, Shop and Profile. Instagram are replacing the Shop tab with the Create tab, currently found in the Home tab. Create will be placed in the middle, while Reels will be moved one space right, just to really play with your muscle memory: Home, Search, Create, Reels and Profile.

Instagram says, while the dedicated Shop feed is going, shopping will still be available in the app via Feed, Stories, Reels and ads.
