Instagram is serious business.

Sure, some people use it exclusively to look at pictures of dogs and gourmet restaurants they can’t afford. But in an age driven by social media, Instagram can be a serious money maker – which is why people go to great lengths to ensure that their feed looks meticulous and squeaky clean, carefully placing each image to weave a cohesive narrative. Maybe that’s why some people are having miniature heart attacks at what seems to be an Instagram update, switching from the App’s traditional three-image grid to a four-image grid:

The changes have been reported by some publications online, and while nobody can confirm whether or not this was a glitch experienced by a handful of users, Refinery29 point out that Instagram usually test runs its upgrades on select App users before implementing them across the board.

While some of Instagram’s major updates – including the ability to add stories or edit captions – have been well received, it seems like this one is going to be a little more divisive for brands, social media celebrities and people who have spent a lot of time aligning their pics. Then again, there’s a whole bunch of people who probably don’t give a shit. We’ll have to wait and see if this is indeed an official IG update.
