instagramfeed

More than five years after the company did away with the chronological feed in lieu of an algorithm-based system, Instagram has officially brought it back after teasing its return yesterday.

Instagram may soon release the much-anticipated chronological feed, if a solution to a recently-posted word puzzle is to be believed. Instagram has already confirmed the feature is coming, making its appearance here feel like more than a coincidence.

Instagram is reportedly working on a feature that would allow users to customize the order in which photos appear on their profile pages. The grid customization feature was recently discovered through an analysis of the app's code.

Instagram has announced that it has started to test the ability to switch between three different views on the app's home screen, two of which would give users the ability to see posts in chronological order.

Instagram famously ditched the chronological version of the feed in its app years ago and substituted an algorithmic-based one. But as pressure mounts on the company to make its app safer for young people, it is apparently bringing it back.

Facebook is merging the long-form video format of IGTV with regular videos in feeds and increasing how long they are allowed to be to 60-minutes. IGTV will be rebranded Instagram TV as the main app focuses on a more seamless video experience.

A new report shows that Instagram is working on a new Favorites feature that will make it possible to tell the app what content it should prioritize.

What do a loaded gun, a stun gun disguised as a pack of cigarettes and an inert grenade all have in common? Pictures of all of them are to be found on the Transportation Security Administration's (TSA) new Instagram account, where the government agency is doing its best to show the public the kinds of dangerous things its employees are confiscating on a daily basis.
