Instagram’s New Feeds
IG is testing two new feeds, which will be added to our current Home feed.
The 3 feeds will be:
(1) Home – the feed as we know it now, with more recommendations from Instagram
(2) Favorites – a subset or list of accounts you don’t want to miss content from in chronological order
(3) Following – a chronological feed of only those accounts you follow

If you were on Instagram when it first started, then you remember the Home feed was a chronological one. As the platform grew, we lost that experience, and instead, we were shown what the IG algorithm determined we wanted to see more of (just like Facebook).
As a personal user, the Favorites and Following feeds sound good to me, but I wonder how these changes will affect small businesses.
More users may not access their Home feed regularly, which is where small businesses have a better chance of showing up.
I’ll keep you updated as I learn more and test it out once I have it, but let me know your thoughts on these changes.
