UPDATE:<\/strong> A spokesperson from Instagram has reached out to tech site Co.Design<\/a> and has said the following: <\/p>\n No, Instagram is not testing chronological feed.<\/p>\n This meme kicked up somewhere and we\u2019ve been trying to set the record straight.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Instagram<\/a>\u2018s controversial choice to switch from its chronological feed to the current algorithm-informed feed has been a hot topic since it was enacted in 2016. Recently, some suspicious activity has suggested that the app may soon switch back to the former arrangement.<\/p>\n User @jackharding posted to his Instagram Story noting that his feed was in chronological order, stating, \u201cInstagram back to chronological order. I wonder if this is good or bad news.\u201d Harding later noted that he was an Instagram employee beta testing the chronological feed, with several other users making similar claims<\/a>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Naturally, Instagram has yet to release a statement confirming or denying the eventual reinstitution of the chronological feeds, and beta tests are not a guarantee of features to come. Stay tuned for more information as the news develops.<\/p>\n The company recently disabled its burgeoning GIPHY partnership<\/a> following the discovery of a racist GIF.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n
