It\u2019s Instagram\u2018s 10th birthday \u2014 yes, it\u2019s now been in our lives for 10 years, and no I don\u2019t feel old at all. As a treat for users this month, Instagram\u2018s giving users the option to change their app icon to one of the old classics. Here\u2019s how you can do it.<\/p>\n

The icons are somewhat hidden in the app itself, so you\u2019ll have to do a little snooping to find it. To start, you\u2019ll have to go to the settings within the Instagram app. Once you\u2019re there, pull down as hard as you can. You\u2019ll see a string of progressively more curious emoji.<\/p>\n

Pull down as far as the present emoji, and you\u2019ll get some confetti and you\u2019ll be directed to the secret menu where you\u2019ll see all of the icons you can switch to from the current sherbet-colored tile. You\u2019ll even be able to switch to the very vintage full Polaroid camera icon, and the pre-launch \u201cConfidential\u201d lens icon. In addition to the classics, you can also change the icon to different color variants of the current logo. The colors include \u201cPride\u201d (rainbow, natch), \u201cDark\u201d and \u201cLight,\u201d and \u201cGold.\u201d<\/p>\n

The text on this hidden menu says it\u2019s to \u201ccelebrate our birthday\u201d in the month of October, so it\u2019s not clear how long the color swap you pick will remain \u2014 at the very least, I would presume they\u2019ll be gone by November. It\u2019s a shame, too, because the color options are very attractive and the Instagram logo is still very recognizable on each of them. The old-school Polaroid-style icon looks delightfully vintage next to modern apps.<\/p>\n

And that\u2019s it! Take advantage of this while you can, because who knows when it\u2019s going away. Good luck!<\/p>\n
