Instagram today outlined changes it its making to users' feeds that should give them more control over what they see when they open the app. To start, the company said it will ensure that newer posts are more likely to appear first in the feed. Instagram says it is making this change based on user feedback. Instagram used to show feeds in chronological order, but eventually switched to an algorithm for showing posts. "With these changes, your feed will feel more fresh, and you won’t miss the moments you care about," said Instagram in a blog post. Instagram is also changing how feeds refresh. The app often automatically refreshes the feed when the app is opened To change this, the company is testing a "New Posts" button that will let people choose when to refresh the feed, rather than allowing it to happen automatically. The feed will remain where it was when last used until users tap the button. Instagram says it plans to roll out more changes to the feed over the new few months.
