After years of incessant requests from users. Instagram is planning to make changes to how its feed appears for users. The social media app has confirmed today that it will reintroduce the chronological feed, which it ditched back in 2016 in favor of the algorithm-based feed. The information was confirmed by Instagram CEO Adam Mosseri during a Senate hearing on how Instagram tackles child safety.
When asked how users can have better control on their Instagram without the intervention of algorithms, Mosseri revealed that the app is working on a version of a chronological feed, which is expected to launch early next year.
In 2017, the feed was updated to include Recommended Posts from accounts people don’t follow. It further added to the negative limelight the feature had received. It even added more changes to the feed but seems like that didn’t help either.
