Six years after switching from a chronological feed to an algorithm, Instagram has unveiled the option for users to control what is shown in their feed.

Now you can use the default algorithm that includes suggested posts, or you can choose between a chronological feed with posts by all accounts you follow. Separately, you can also choose to see posts from 50 of your favorite accounts. Adding accounts to your favorites list will also prioritize them on your algorithm controlled feed.

We will walk you through how to change your feed preferences.

How to change your Instagram algorithm to a chronological feed:

1. Open Instagram

2. Tap "Home" in the upper left hand corner

When you close the Instagram app and open it up again, it will default to the "Home" feed, so you need do this every time you want to see a chronological feed.

Thank you very much for these valuable tips! I have been promoting my blog on Instagram for a long time, but I did not know that such settings were. Yes, I use various Instagram filters, and I know how to use sites like https://create correctly.vista.com/templates/instagram-highlight-cover/ for additional processing of the visual on Instagram. But the extension of the application's modes is an extension of the application's modes for me. Which I am certainly very happy about. Thank you so much for sharing.

    • Wait, Burning Man is going online-only? What does that even look like?
      You could have been forgiven for missing the announcement that actual physical Burning Man has been canceled for this year, if not next. Firstly, the nonprofit Burning Man organization, known affectionately to insiders as the Borg, posted it after 5 p.m. PT Friday. That, even in the COVID-19 era, is the traditional time to push out news when you don't want much media attention. 
      But secondly, you may have missed its cancellation because the Borg is being careful not to use the C-word. The announcement was neutrally titled "The Burning Man Multiverse in 2020." Even as it offers refunds to early ticket buyers, considers layoffs and other belt-tightening measures, and can't even commit to a physical event in 2021, the Borg is making lemonade by focusing on an online-only version of Black Rock City this coming August.    Read more...
