Instagram’s New Redesign Has An Annoying Problem

Instagram has finally given in and allowed you to bypass the company’s infamous ranking algorithm.

[{"selector":"#anim-7ec363da-f76c-4275-900c-4a5d2bc85da1 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(28.9501951847706%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}]

This means you can view posts from accounts you follow in strict chronological order, with the most recent posts showing first.

[{"selector":"#anim-df515143-94fc-4c7d-a9a1-2ac6e1265d7d [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(28.9501951847706%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}]

However, this change doesn’t mark a return to the pre-ranking era.

[{"selector":"#anim-7bef8cbd-89ee-42a1-8f89-90e2a5bef646 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(28.9501951847706%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}]

it will pave the way for Instagram to push even more potentially unwanted content into your main feed,

Annoyingly, the main feed will always remain the default option when you open the app.
