All\u00a0people got for Christmas from Instagram is a first world problem.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Facebook, Inc.-owned social network underwent a facelift on Thursday, two days after the holiday. Instead of scrolling down to see new posts, users had to scroll sideways, like on Tinder. Many people were\u00a0not<\/em> happy.<\/p>\n

The network\u00a0rolled back to its previous look within hours.<\/p>\n

“Due to a bug, some users saw a change to the way their feed appears today,” read a tweet on Instagram’s Twitter<\/a> page. “We quickly fixed the issue and feed is back to normal. We apologize for any confusion.”<\/p>\n

“Sorry about that,”\u00a0tweeted<\/a> Adam Mosseri<\/strong>, Instagram’s VP of Product, who started his job a\u00a0few months ago. “This was supposed to be a very small test but we went broader than we anticipated.<\/p>\n

Mosseri, a former Facebook product exec who helped built the parent company’s News Feed, did not say\u00a0when Instagram would change its new look again.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

“So is this coming to all or still just ‘testing’?” user @RichBTIG<\/a> asked him.<\/p>\n

“Just a test,” he replied.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

Sorry about that, this was supposed to be a very small test but we went broader than we anticipated. ?<\/p>\n

“For it being a test, you now have results: no one wants this,” wrote user @SimplxeSierra<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

Others took the opportunity to voice a collective longtime, popular\u00a0request.<\/p>\n

“Test failed. Bring back chronological timelines, please and thanks,” tweeted user @Serend1p1ty9<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n
