Instagram is making some major changes to the way that users view their feeds.
The latest updates will be welcomed by many as the social media platform will be bringing back its chronological post feature. This means users can see posts in the order they are published, instead of being targeted by an algorithm.
In a blog post announcing the change, Instagram boss Adam Mosseri explained that because the main newsfeed will send you more recommended content, Favourites and Following are being added to let people have more control over what they see.

It marks the return of a much-loved feature that was ditched back in 2016 in favour of an algorithm-driven feed that serves you content based on what the app thinks you like. In a video earlier this year, Mosseri said: "It's important to me that people feel good about the time that they spend in the app. I think giving people ways to shape Instagram into what's best for them, is one of the best ways to pursue that goal."
You can add up to 50 accounts to your Favourites list and alter this at any time. People won't be able to see if they've been added or removed. To use the new feeds, all you have to do is tap the text 'Instagram' in the top left corner of your app screen and select between the two options.
