Instagram may soon offer the ability to view posts in chronological order again, instead of based on an algorithm.
Instagram update lets users view feeds in chronological order
According to Reuters, the social media platform plans to launch a version of the app with a chronological feed early next year. Instagram CEO Adam Mosseri made the announcement during a congressional hearing on Wednesday, saying the company has been working on the feature for months.
Lifewire has reached out to Instagram to learn more about the chronological feed, including whether it's an app update or a separate app entirely, but has not yet received a response.
Right now, your Instagram feed is ranked based on a combination of three factors: the content you’re likely to be most interested in, your relationship with the people posting, and the timeliness of the post. That’s why you’ll still see posts from a few days ago appear in the first few posts on your timeline.
