Brace yourselves – Instagram has started rolling out its “revised” algorithm for its feed curation.
According to Instagram, people miss out on 70% of the posts – but thanks to its revised algorithm, your feed will be shuffled according to criteria that Instagram believes will show you what you really want to see, based on your behaviour on the app.
Basically, the algorithm will take into account:
- Your relationship with the person or account you follow; the more you interact with an account, the more likely you will see photos from that account first
- When the photo was posted
- Shares; the more you share photos of that account with others, the more likely you will see photos of the account
- Searches; if you’re a professional stalker, Instagram will aid you on your quest
With this new ordering you won’t miss your favorite band’s video after the concert, even if it took place across the world in a different time zone. And no matter how many accounts you follow, you should see your best friend’s latest posts.
Well then … here’s to more concert videos and cat photos.
