If you're only thinking about user flows at the design stage, you're a little late in the process...

Instagram's app strategy really confuses me. You can already message each other in the main app, just add this extra functionality there? Same with their others apps - really annoying having a fragmented suite of apps to do stuff on one platform.
Also that icon does not gel so well with the rest of the family.

If you’re working with clients who don’t understand the value of design or simply don’t have any experience working with a design team, how do you communicate the value your design process can bring?

Awesome idea. Get it quick. Can imagine Apple pulling this as it violates the app store guidelines - no app is allowed to use imagery of Apple products 😓

New = they put the voice search feature in the stick too? This is occasionally useful. Like how they brand this "Alexa Voice Remote" - very unlike Alexa and has no integration with it. I wish my Alexa could almost completely control by FireTV, alas they are more or less unaware of each other's abilities. Amazon not making good use of their own hardware ecosystem.
Not suprised no 4k on this as...
