Instagram's algorithmic timeline has draw a lot of ire from users who complain about not seeing new posts in chronological order. Now it sounds like Instagram may be taking steps to change that.
Instagram announced today that it's "making changes to ensure that newer posts are more likely to appear first in feed." With the current algorithmic feed, you might see a post that's four days old at the top of your feed, then have to scroll down a bit before you see something new. These changes aim to fix that.
Another change coming to Instagram is a "New Posts" button. This button will let you decide when you want to refresh your feed rather than having it happen automatically and bumping you to the top when you don't want that to happen. Tap the button and you'll be sent to the top of your Instagram feed to view your new posts.
These sound like solid improvements to Instagram's feed. While it doesn't sound like the company is switching back to a totally chronological feed, these changes should help to ensure that you see more new posts as they come in.
