It’s about time Instagram brought back the good ol’ days and allow users to view their feeds chronologically. According to the official Instagram Comms Twitter account, it tweeted: “We’ve been experimenting with Favorites, a way for you to decide whose posts you want to see higher up, and we’re working on another option to see posts from people you follow in chronological order.”
Before the 2016 update that altered Instagram feed to prioritise posts according to an algorithm, which caused a commotion among Instagram users. Thankfully, Instagram decided to leave the current algorithm around as an option, in case users still hate it.
“We want to be clear that we’re creating new options — providing people with more choices so they can decide what works best for them — not switching everyone back to a chronological feed. You can expect more on this early next year!”
We’re not sure when Instagram will be dropping the update to bring back the chronological timeline, hopefully soon! Do you prefer the chronological feed or the prioritised algorithm?
