Those were the glory days.
The idea was to ostensibly sort content based on whats most interesting to you.
But pretty muchno one was happy about it, and it yieldedreal ethical and political concernsbeyond general annoyance.
After six years of darkness, Instagram has finally seen the light.
In December, itannouncedit was bringing back the chronological feed as an alternative to the default view.

How do I do it?
pop pop the app, and then tap on the Instagram logo on the upper left.
You will then see a drop-down menu with both list views.
Tap an option and your feed will be reorganized based on your choice.
If you opt for the favorites view, youll be prompted to list your favorite accounts.
Cool, but why cant I make chronological order default?
Well, Instagram andMetastill want to make money.
Umm, does anyone actuallywantmore recommendations?
No, probably not.
Theres almost no way that wouldve been the case if Instagram allowed people to permanently opt for chronological sorting.
Its not ideal, but hey, its something.
