Instagram, after listening to its user feedback, has tweaked the frequency of posts appearing in a user feed in order to make Instagram browsing even more user-friendly.
It said on its official Instagram blog that it had started testing a ‘New Posts’ button that let users choose when they wanted to refresh, rather than it happening automatically. Tap this button & users will be taken to new posts at the top of feed — don’t tap, and they will stay where they are.
Here’s what it said:
Based on your feedback, we’re also making changes to ensure that newer posts are more likely to appear first in feed. With these changes, your feed will feel more fresh, and you won’t miss the moments you care about. So if your best friend shares a selfie from her vacation in Australia, it will be waiting for you when you wake up.
Over the next few months, we’ll be sharing more about improvements we’re making to feed. Our goal is to be the best place to share and connect with the people and interests that matter most to you.
