Instagram testing its Reverse Chronological Feed option

Instagram is working to launch its initial test of algorithm-free and reverse chronological post feed late this year.

Instagram chief Adam Mosseri has today shared a little highlight of how its new options on this front will work.

The platform is working to add two different chronological feed options in 'Favorites'.

It will enable users to view a listing of accounts based on those you add to your ‘Favorites’ list.

The problem with this feature is that users will not be able to make their preference the default option.

Mosseri adds that most people don’t get through all the posts in their main feed anyway, and if you do switch away from the ‘Home’ feed display and end up missing important updates.

Currently, the new feed option is said to be in the testing phase and the full roll out might happen in the first half of the year.
