1. Instagram's chronological feed is back. After dropping its chronological feed in favor of a controversial engagement-based ranking in 2016, Instagram is finally giving users an option to see newest posts first.
- Instagram's engagement-based algorithm orders content based on how likely users are to interact with posts. But it's become contentious, based on its tendency to prioritize violent, toxic, false, and politically divisive content.
- There will be two new ways to view your feed: "Favorites," which shows you posts from specific accounts you choose, and "Following," which shows you posts from people you follow. Here's an explainer on how to update your feed.
- There is a catch, though: You can't make your choice permanent. When you close the app, it will revert back to its algorithmic feed.
Here's what else you need to know about the change.
