How to Get the Old Instagram Logo Back on Your Phone

You probably wouldn't have missed the massive change in logo's that Instagram just made. 

And if you don't like the new logo well you're not alone. Less-than-impressed media outlets have described the new logo as “not quite picture perfect,” a “travesty,” and “so internet”.

But if your dislike for the new logo is really just killing you, then you can change it back, without having to jailkbreak your phone or anything else super complicated. 

UX designer Juan Ramirez created a link that prompts Safari to open Instagram, and that link has the old logo assigned to it. Tap this link in mobile and follow the super simple directions to get it on your homescreen. Next, move the real Instagram app to some junk folder and out of your sight. 

Ramirez’s workaround does get the old logo back, but at the expense of Instagram opening quite a bit slower.
