There is a piece of good news for all Instagram users as the social media platform is all set to bring back the chronological feed. One of the most wanted features of Instagram is all set to come after the gap of 5 years. The company switched to an algorithmically-ranked feed which was not liked by many users, thus they are again making things easy for the users and bringing back the feed post order searched in recent options again. The work on this newer version started last year in December and is rolling out for most of the users out there. 

According to the reports, there will be two optional feeds available for Instagram users which they can use by clicking on the logo of Instagram present on the top. It will also help the users to customize their feed in a way they want to do that as per their preference.
