How to view followers and favorites feeds
Following and favorites feeds
How to add accounts to the favorites feed

When we enter Instagram, by default we see a combination of followed and recommended accounts that do not seem to have a specific order; This is because the social network uses an algorithm to recommend posts to us. However, it is possible to change the Instagram feed from algorithmic to chronological, this option was recently added. In this way, we will have more control over what kind of content we want to see and what publications have priority for us..

How to view followers and favorites feeds

To change our Instagram feed from algorithmic to chronological, we will have to open the application and click on the Instagram logo located in the upper left corner of the screen. A small menu will appear that will have two options; “Following” and “Favorites”. We will have to choose one of these to order the feed in question.

Following and favorites feeds

While the followed feed and the favorites feed display content in chronological order, the two serve different purposes. The “Following” one is a chronological feed that shows content from the accounts we follow and nothing else. This means that at no time will we see suggested posts or anything similar..

In the "Favorites" we will see the accounts that have been marked as favorites; this is something extremely useful because it allows us to keep up to date with the posts of specific people. The favorites list is private, which means that the user will not be notified when we add it to the list; In the same way that happens when we block a person, they are not notified.

How to add accounts to the favorites feed

From our Instagram profile page, we will have to click on the menu with the three horizontal lines in the upper right corner. Here we will choose “Favorites” near the bottom of the menu; we will have to choose the accounts we want to add to this list, we can also write the name of the person we want to add..

Another option is to visit the profile of the person we want to mark as a favorite (it can also be a page on a website, etc.) Next, we are going to press the "Follow" button and select "Add to favorites" in the menu that appears. If we already follow the account, it is not necessary to unfollow the person, by clicking on the button we will see the options.

To manage your favorites from the favorites feed, we will have to click on the icon that has three horizontal lines that is located in the upper right corner. Here we can add or remove favourites.
