After fielding a few solid years of complaints, Instagram has finally budged and brought back the option to have your feed in chronological order.
The Meta-owned social media platform shared the news on Wednesday, outlining the different ways which users can interact with their feeds.
“You’ve been asking, and we’ve been listening!” IG wrote in a caption. “Today we’re launching two new chronological views for your Instagram Feed, Following and Favorites. Swipe through to learn more.”
Along with the option to view new posts in reverse chronological order, IG has created subsections within the chronological setting called “Favorites” and “Following.” Following allows a user to view the latest posts of people they follow from newest to oldest, and Favorites lets users curate a list of up to 50 specific accounts to browse chronologically.
Instagram will still have an option to leave the feed the way it’s been for awhile now—a mix of new, old, and suggested content. A spokesperson for Meta told CNN Business the company works to improve its user experience, and this update is a part of that effort.
“We’re always working on new ways for people to have more control over their experience on Instagram, and giving you ways to quickly see what you’re most interested in is one example of those efforts,” they said.
The news follows Twitter testing a non-chronological timeline, then immediately undoing the update as a large swath of users disliked it.
