Instagram to Bring Back Chronological Feed Next Year

Instagram has announced that it plans to bring back a chronological feed next year.

We want people to have meaningful control over their experience. 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.

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!


Instagram moved to an algorithmic feed in 2016 and tweaked it to prioritize newer posts in 2018.
