San Francisco, December 11, 2011 : .Meta-owned platform Instagram is currently testing two versions of its chronological feed.
It is “targeting the early part next year,” says Instagram chief Adam Mosseri.
In a Q&A on Friday, Mosseri said that one version of the chronological feed would let users “pick your favourites and they show up at the top in chronological order”, The Verge reported.
The other would let users see the posts from everyone they are following in chronological order, though he didn’t mention how recommended posts would be interspersed.
Mosseri answered a follow up question about when it would appear.
He said that the feature wouldn’t take too long and that Instagram was “already testing” the favorites idea.
He said that “full chronological” mode would come shortly after.
During a hearing before a Senate sub-committee earlier this week, Mosseri said that Instagram is working on a version of its feed that would show users’ posts in chronological order.
Users are not happy with the company’s algorithmically-sorted feed.
It was introduced in 2016, and updated to include recommendations posts in 2017.
The current feed uses AI to create what Instagram considers a more personalised feed, based on users’ activity.
But it has remained generally unpopular among a vast swath of users, despite the company’s assertions otherwise.
