Instagram is playing with fire, the main feed


Instagram is testing more additional changes for the main feed, including a lot more recommendations for users. From now on, extra content from accounts you don’t even follow will bubble up in the default algorithmic feed. Based on what you like. It’s not clear how many suggested posts you’ll be able to see, although Instagram says the experience will be very much personalized and will factor in things like the number of accounts you follow and how much you use the app.

It’s not surprising, as Instagram has already been emphasizing AI recommendations. So basically Instagram is running the risk of annoying people who want a better and more curated experience centered around their friends & family.

Lab being said, Instagram is also allowing users more ways to personalize their experience in the app, as two more feeds were introduced to the app in March to show posts from the accounts you follow in chronological order.
