Instagram Starts Rolling out Chronological Feed on Android and iOS

Mar. 24, 2022

Instagram’s Chronological Feed Is Back!

Instagram’s Adam Mosseri took to Twitter to announce the “Chrono update.” It is revealed that there will now be two more feed options:Favorites and Followingin addition to the algorithmic Home feed.

Mosseri explains that the “Following” section will be a “deterministic feed,” which willshow posts from the accounts you follow in a chronological way. These posts will show up directly on the main page of the Instagram app.

As for the “Favorites” feed, it will show photos and videos from the Instagram accounts that matter to you. It is said that you will be able toadd up to 50 accounts to view as favorites.

These two new options will work side-by-side with the Home feed, which will be a default. And this is where the problem arises. Whatever feed option you choose, youwill have to switch over to it up each time you open the Instagram app. The app will be set back to the personalized feed option (with recommendations too) whenever you get out of it.

Instagram’s chronological feed is rolling out to iOS and Android users. I, however, wasn’t able to see it at the time of writing. Hence, we can expect it to arrive for all iOS users soon. There’s no word on its availability on Android but that should happen soon too. So, stay tuned for further updates and tell if you are happy with the return of the chronological in the comments below.

Started off as a stranger but tech is more like a good friend, thanks to over 5 years in the industry. While everything is attractive about tech, phones, social media, and quirky gadgets attract me the most. When not working, I find my solace in shopping and everything that concerns doggos!
