"You will still be able to set up and run your shop on Instagram as we continue to invest in shopping experiences that provide the most value for people and businesses across the feed, stories, reels, ads and more," the company said in its support page.
In September last year, the company started testing a main feed without a shopping button and said it wanted to "simplify the Instagram experience" for users, the report said.
Meanwhile, last month, Meta introduced new sharing features including 'Notes' on Instagram, that would help users to feel closer to the people they care about.
