Instagram switches to sideways scrolling just in time to ruin your holidays

Instagram, your favorite place to see cat photos, week old reddit memes, rejected TikTok videos, ads and occasionally pictures of your friends, has now completely changed the way the timeline works. While the service has had a vertically scrolling timeline since it launched back in 2010, the company today started rolling out a server-side update that changes the way timeline scrolling works. Instead of vertically, it now moves sideways, one post at a time. You can either scroll horizontally or just tap on the edge of posts like you would on a Snapchat Instagram Story.
