JAKARTA Instagram users can now change the application logo on the main screen of the cellphone with several selected icons. Unfortunately, this feature is only available exclusively for teenage users.

To change the purple Instagram application icon, they only need to tap on the Instagram logo at the top of the homepage after they open the app. After that, select the new icon you want.

Currently, the available special icon options include six manifestations of the Instagram logo with an attractive visual style. These styles include neon, clear glass, fire, flowers, and green mucus effects.

Announcement of this new capability actually gets a negative reaction from the public. This is not the case they don't like it, precisely because of the opposite thing. Many adult users want to get this feature.

Users over the age of 18 reject the idea of age restrictions. They also stated that everyone also wants to set up their home screen display, not just teenagers.

Instagram explained to TechCrunch that they added these icons because teenagers like to customize their Instagram experiences. Through this feature, the company uses a 'wortel' approach instead of 'sticks' to make teenage accounts look more attractive.

Unfortunately, Instagram confirms that it does not plan to expand access to this particular icon to older users or paid subscribers. For now, adult users still need an application to replace the application icon from third parties.
