Instagram rolled out a new feature “Instagram.com/hacked” to help users regain their hacked accounts.

The new tool is an all-in-one account support page, as users can report impersonation accounts, or get help if they’ve forgotten their passwords.

Last month, Instagram announced an update for its desktop web app with a new design that takes better advantage of large screens rather than looking like a larger version of the mobile app.

Instagram Chief Adam Mosseri announced the update along with the new in-app scheduler revealed.

"We know a lot of people use the web to multitask and we wanted to make sure Instagram was an as great experience as possible online," Mosseri said in a video. "So it is cleaner, faster, and easier to use and it’s designed now to take advantage of large-screen monitors."

The home, search, explore, messages, and notification menus were moved to a new side rail that collapses to icons depending on screen size.

Stories are shown at the top, while your profile, suggestions, and more are off to the right. When selecting any menu option, the left menu bar remains, making navigation quicker and easier.
