There is good news for users who have been confused about the timeline view or Instagram feed that is displayed based on an algorithm. The reason is, the Head of Instagram, Adam Mosseri recently said that his party was preparing an option where users would be able to view posts on their feed in order of upload, aka chronologically. The statement was delivered by Mosseri in a testimony in front of the United States (US) senate. Meanwhile, Mosseri was presented before the senators to explain various reports claiming that the social media platform he leads has a bad impact on teenagers.
“We are currently working on an Instagram feed feature that displays chronologically. We hope this feature will appear next year,” Mosseri told the US Senate, when asked about user fears about the Instagram feed algorithm. Mosseri did not explain in detail when the feature would launch and be widely enjoyed by general users. However, he said that the feature would be announced sometime in early 2022.
“Currently, we have a target to introduce a time-ordered Instagram feed post feature in the first quarter of next year,” added Mosseri. For your information, Mosseri made this statement under an agreement in which he had to speak the truth before the US Senate. This means that this feature is indeed being considered and developed by Instagram, but it has not been announced to the public because it will be announced next year. Despite the promise, Mosseri also briefly said before the US Senate that his party, for the past few years, has been constantly thinking about how to improve the experience of browsing the right Instagram feed for users.
Regarding the Instagram feed algorithm itself, the platform under the auspices of Meta – the new name for Facebook – first switched to a new mechanism in 2016. Previously, Instagram had used a posting system that was displayed chronologically. This step was not welcomed by users and caused controversy, where many users complained on social media such as Twitter and so on. However, Instagram still does not change the ordering mechanism of Instagram feeds, with the consideration that the algorithm can increase engagement or communication that occurs on Instagram.
Some time later, Instagram also added a new rule in its algorithm, where users will be able to see a variety of the latest posts, not only related to users.
However, still, the appearance of Instagram feeds is still based on algorithms and it doesn’t seem to be able to satisfy user demands. As a result, until now, not a few users want Instagram to restore the mechanism for posting Instagram feeds which are displayed in order, of course, based on the upload time.
