The scrollers of the world are outraged.

Instagram surprised their billion active users two days ago by rolling out an update that brings a major change to the interface.

Users must now tap the screen to browse new posts or swipe left to flip through posts with multiple images.

Instagrammers took to Twitter, the platform embraced by complainers, to express their outrage.
