Instagram announces new features, brings back chronological feed

Instagram announced it is bringing back the chronological feed.

[{"selector":"#anim-4ae4f0bf-ce47-4c9f-ab8b-50055b9b21dc [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-28.950195184770607%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}]

According to GSM Arena, the new version of the app has two optional feeds, which you can get to by tapping on the Instagram logo at the top.

[{"selector":"#anim-017ff5d7-7915-4284-84c8-a1dd9eff77d9 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-28.950195184770607%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}]

The first is called Following, and this is the chronological feed of every post from every account you follow, while the other one is called Favorites.

[{"selector":"#anim-d7989fd7-f911-4232-9dd9-00c018dd6f48 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-28.950195184770607%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}]

You can add up to 50 accounts as your favorites, and when choosing this feed you'll only see their posts - also sorted chronologically.

[{"selector":"#anim-52b05e35-3741-4eb5-8075-9af4c432fbf5 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-28.950195184770607%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}]

posts from accounts in your Favorites will show up higher in the home feed.

[{"selector":"#anim-1f1d5750-65c9-49fa-b352-66812e15d12c [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-28.950195184770607%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}]

people are not notified when you add or remove them.

[{"selector":"#anim-ceb46bb4-f2eb-48dd-af15-96e700c6a6b2 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-28.950195184770607%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}]

However, neither of these new feeds can be set as the default, at least for now.

[{"selector":"#anim-3dc08c5d-f273-4c5a-a753-2c7a56b32ca7 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-28.950195184770607%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}]
