Recently, Instagram has released two new feed layouts, Following and Favorite, on March 23, 2022. The former feed layout (Following) is also known as the Chronological Instagram feed.
In this article we’ll cover everything you need to know about the Chronological Instagram Feed. We will also explain how to get the chronological feed on your profile.
What Is Chronological Feed On Instagram
Chronological feed is a feed layout that only shows you the posts from the people you follow on Instagram, and it shows the most recent ones first on your feed. Note that you cannot make the Chronological or Following feed layout your default feed layout. So, the feed layout will return to the standard Home every time you close the app and relaunch it.
Chronological or Following feed layout is the reintroduction of an older feature that was removed in 2016. The default Home feed layout shows you the posts based on an algorithm, and it might include posts from people you do not follow on Instagram. The algorithm also decides the order of the posts in your feed.
