Instagram is a social media platform that allows users to post pictures and videos of their lives. The app has a chronological feed, which shows users the latest posts from the people in their account at a specific point in time. This can be helpful if you want to see what happened in the past few hours or days. To view your chronologically ordered feed, open Instagram and sign in with your account information (username, password). Then, under “Settings,” select “Chronological Feed.” In the “Chronology” section, you’ll see a list of posts from the last 24 hours or so. To add a post to your chronology, click on it and then select “Add to Chronology.” If you want to remove a post from your chronology, select it and then select “Remove from Chronology.”
How the Instagram Chronological Feed Works
By default, Instagram shows you posts that it thinks you’ll like, even if it means placing an old post at the top of your feed while keeping a recent one at the bottom. It does that by learning your preferences from your app usage and other sources.
However, if you’d like the platform to show you the most recent posts at the top, you can do so by switching to chronological feed order.
This is an official Instagram feature that allows you to see the posts from the people you follow in a time-based order.
