The developers state that very few people are clicking the IGTV icon, which is located at the top right corner of the app. IGTV button was introduced back in 2018. The official plan of this feature was to build a video streaming like environment on Instagram.

The feature, however, only shows vertical video display at the start. Many users complained about this feature because the content was originally designed for landscape screens. It doesn’t capture the surroundings and was backlashed many times.

In May 2019, this problem got fixed, and the developers rolled out a new update for landscape mode, along with a vertical one. Because of this update, there were also fewer Instagram downloads as compared to the previous year. Instagram’s biggest competition, TikTok has taken the spot of the most downloaded application of 2019.

Although the IGTV button feature is not going anytime soon. The users can still watch this feature, through a different application. The growth rate of TikTok has been growing at a massive rate, and many application developers are using different techniques to engage with their users.

Instagram also struggles to attract new creators and has already lost thousands of existent users in 2019.

The report states that TikTok has chocked more than 1.65 billion downloads in the fourth quarter of 2019. The app download growth has been increased by 13% from last year. Certainly, it is not a dynamic user downloader, but statistics indicate the popularity of the application has increased, especially in China, where Facebook is not allowed.

In China, Tiktok is known as Douyin which is the second-largest market for ByteDance in the United States. Facebook’s concern can be gauged from the fact that it copied some of Tiktok’s features into its own apps, Instagram.

Instagram has adopted this same strategy, targeting Snapchat and introducing stories where Snapchat was not available. Instagram also favors the US government over Tiktok as the app is being scrutinized by US officials.
