If your Instagram feed suddenly scrolls, you may have upgraded to the new algorithm-based feed. Instead of displaying posts in chronological order, Instagram will now show you posts it thinks you will find most interesting with this new update.
This means that posts will start to appear at the top of your feed more frequently if you frequently view a particular hashtag or like and comment on certain friends’ photos.
While some users find this new feature useful, others miss the days when they could see what everyone else was up to by scrolling through their entire feed.
If you fall into the latter category, you need not be concerned because there are methods for reverting to the previous chronological order.
Simply change the “Sort Feed” option in your settings to “Most Recent.”
You can always turn on notifications for your favorite people or hashtags if you want to ensure that you never miss a post.
