Instagram is giving back users the highly requested chronological feed!

Back in 2016, Instagram decided to remove the chronological feed that shows posts in the order of the latest published content. It switched to the algorithm-based feed that shows posts it thinks you would be most interested in. 

This new feature gives you more choice and control over what you see and lets you view posts as per your interests and favourites.

“Don’t forget to add getonlineagency to your Favourites!”

Here's a step by step guide to do so:

1. Download the latest version of Instagram on your device
2. Open Instagram on your device, In the top-left corner click on the Instagram logo. 
3. You will see a drop down menu with two options: Following and Favourites. 
4. Choose “Following” from the drop down menu.
5. Once you have done this the newest posts will show up at the top and the oldest ones at the bottom.
6. To change to Favourites click back on the Instagram logo. 
7. Choose  “Favourites” from the drop down menu
8. You should add people to your Favourites list to see their posts first. 
9. Tap “Add Favourites” to pick the accounts you want in your Favourites list. It’s worth noting that you should be following the person to add them to your Favourites list. You can add a total of 50 accounts.
10. To switch back to the current Instagram feed, select  “Home”.

There is one catch though. If you switch to either the favourites or following feed, you cannot see Stories. You will have to go back to the current feed for that.

Can the Chronological feed be set as default?

No, Instagram currently doesn’t let you set it by default so you will have to switch to it manually.

How do you manage your Favourites on Instagram?

You can manage accounts you have added to the Favourites list from the Favourites tab on Instagram.
