There are now three options for viewing your Instagram feed:
(1) The main, algorithmic Home feed (Instagram chooses what content to show you based on its algorithm and your behaviors)
(2) The new chronological Following feed (posts from ONLY the accounts you follow)
(3) The new chronological Favorites feed (posts from up to 50 accounts you choose to mark as a favorite)
How will this affect business accounts on Instagram?
