Instagram updates your feed

In a recent release, Instagram announces that its feed algorithm will be updated to better reflect what you really care about seeing.

Why are they doing this?
Instagram reports that you currently miss on average more than 70% of your feed. Instagram has grown both in users, and in the amount of pictures and video posted by its users. And on top of that you have the sponsored content. The goal is according to Instagram, that you’ll now see what’s most important and relevant to you, rather than everything that’s in your feed at the time you check your feed. This is the same way that Facebook helps you see what’s most relevant in your newsfeed. It’s based on an algorithm rather than on the time it was posted.
