Instagram is getting ready to come out with great innovations in the new year. Introduced by the head of Instagram, Adam Mosseri today, the innovations include many long-awaited features and touches that will make users happy.
Innovations that bring the ‘chronological flow’ feature, which Instagram has had for a long time since its early years, also allow us to follow the ‘audience’ we want whenever we want. Let’s take a look at all the innovations together.
The flow changes from top to bottom:
As you know, Instagram currently has a homepage feed, as well as ‘Discover’, ‘Reels’ and ‘Store’ tabs. However, with the new innovations, two different ‘tabs’ are added to the homepage flow that we are used to using. While the bottom part of the application’s interface with tabs such as Reels and Discover remains the same, a new menu welcomes us in the upper left corner of the screen.
In this menu, besides the standard home page, two new tabs, ‘Favorites’ and ‘Following’, appear. What we’ll see in each of these tabs also varies. While the main page continues to present content based on the Instagram algorithm as it is now, the other two tabs allow us to see what we kind of ‘want’.
- The ‘Favorites’ feature is an innovation that includes a system consisting of posts from accounts we ‘favorite’ and in a way similar to the ‘Close friends’ feature. In this section, you will see only the contents of the audience you choose, which you want to see constantly.
- In the ‘Following’ section, the long-awaited chronological content flow welcomes us. This tab only presents the contents of all the accounts you follow, in chronological order, without any suggestions.
The features that are currently in the testing phase are expected to appear in front of users soon. It is a matter of curiosity how this new system, which seems to change the Instagam experience, will be met.
