Instagram brings back chronological feed with two new options: How to use it

Instagram boss Adam Mosseri back in December last year had said that the photo and video sharing app form would bring back chronological feed to its platform sometime in 2022. Now, almost four months later, Instagram has kept good on promise by bringing back its much-requested chronological feed feature.

Mosseri in a blog post said that Instagram was introducing two new feed options called ‘Favourites’ and ‘Following’ that would enable users to see posts from specific accounts in a chronological manner. The first feed option is called ‘Following’ and it shows users posts from all the people that they follow.

The second feed option is called ‘Favourites’ and it shows users the latest posts from accounts that they choose, such as their best friends and their favourite creators. Users can add up to 50 accounts to their Favourites list. They can make changes to this list at any time. The Instagram boss said that people are not notified when they are added or removed to the Favourites list. He also said that posts from accounts on users’ favourites list will also show up higher in their home feed and that they will be highlighted using a star icon.

Both the feed options, that is, Favourites and Following, will show users posts in chronological order, which means that Instagram users will see the latest posts from the people that they follow or the accounts that they choose on the top of their feed.

As far as availability is concerned, Instagram has started rolling out this feature to its Android and iOS-based apps and it should be available to users soon.
