Kardashian and Kylie Jenner joined several social media users by asking Instagram to “remake Instagram Instagram” after the platform took steps to focus on photos and more on videos like rival TikTok.

Jenner is the most followed woman on the platform, with 361 million followers, and her sister Kim is no less with 327 million.
