How to change your Instagram algorithm to a chronological feed

Instagram icon.

Six years after switching from a chronological feed to an algorithm, Instagram has unveiled the option for users to control what is shown in their feed.

Now you can use the default algorithm that includes suggested posts, or you can choose between a chronological feed with posts by all accounts you follow. Separately, you can also choose to see posts from 50 of your favorite accounts. Adding accounts to your favorites list will also prioritize them on your algorithm controlled feed.

We will walk you through how to change your feed preferences.

How to change your Instagram algorithm to a chronological feed:

1. Open Instagram
