Product design question

Design a new feature for Instagram targeting under-served users.

What this question tests

Inclusive product design identifying a specific underserved segment and designing with their real constraints in mind.

Pick a specific underserved segment rather than a vague 'everyone', for example users with low-bandwidth or unreliable internet access in emerging markets.
Name pain points: high-resolution photo and video content consumes significant data, making Instagram expensive or slow to use on limited data plans.
Propose a feature: a low-data mode that compresses media aggressively and preloads only text and thumbnails until a user chooses to load full content, similar to what Facebook Lite offers.
Prioritize this over cosmetic features since data cost is a hard, binary barrier to entry for this segment, not a minor inconvenience.
Define success as adoption rate of low-data mode in target markets and session frequency increase among users who previously churned due to data cost concerns.

Chooses a specific, real underserved segment, low-bandwidth emerging market users, rather than a vague catch-all group.
References a real precedent, Facebook Lite, showing the proposed solution is grounded in an already validated approach.
Frames data cost as a binary access barrier, not a minor UX issue, correctly prioritizing it above cosmetic improvements.

Choosing an underserved group so broad or vague it does not lead to a specific, actionable feature.
Proposing a feature that ignores the real constraint, data cost or device limitations, facing this segment.

How would you make this discoverable to users who need it without stigmatizing them?
How would you balance rich media quality against low-data mode's compression?
