Anyone else spotted Facebook’s new “Instagram grid-like” layout for profiles and business pages on mobile?..

Not sure I like it.. it’s not in date order, and there’s no way to see any posts that are text only?..

Thoughts??..

Fancy ad on the tv from L’Oreal - a multi billion dollar company.. and yet they can only get 54 women to say their serum is the best.. these bold claims, backed up by tiny numbers are truly pathetic.

What’s everyone’s thought on the new 4:5 ratio images in Instagram’s grid?

Squares are gone!

Look out for additional “grid” features planned soon, like the ability to reorder it, and posting to the grid only (not peoples feeds).
