-

The navigation bar to browse the stories
Still blurry to me the difference between the stories and the videos. Personally, I don’t use any of these features. I don’t think these are the core actions of the IG app
The bottom navigation toolbar with the main (?) feature of the app

- what will be the content I will receive?
- are you gonna bombing me with commercial info that I will never even scan?
FYI: as soon as I’ve noticed the message I re-checked the subscription line (https://www.interaction-design.org/template-bundles/design-thinking)
