Relax, Your Instagram Feed Likely Won't Change Tomorrow
- 8 years ago
Relax, your Instagram feed likely isn't changing tomorrow.
The great "Insta-freakout" of 2016 was unleashed this morning by a slew of celebrities, bloggers and social media aficionados after they alerted followers to turn on post notifications for future access to their photos, videos and messages.
Instagram announced this month it is planning to move from a reverse chronological feed to an algorithmically-based timeline, with the hope that it can help users keep up with the people they care about the most.
An Instagram representative told ABC News in an email those changes aren't coming for a while, though.
"We still have weeks, or even months, of testing to go.
Currently the test groups are very small.
When we roll it out broadly, we will let the community know," the spokesperson said.
