Stories and videos can be distinguished by the frame bar or progress bar displayed between the caption and like\/comment\/share buttons. A swipe left on a story shows the next story. We also see suggested posts and sponsored posts displayed between regular content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div align=\"center\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Instagram?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Instagram<\/a> is working on a full immersive feed &#x1f440; <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/zTXVpH4C6n\">pic.twitter.com\/zTXVpH4C6n<\/a><\/p>\u2014 Alessandro Paluzzi (@alex193a) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/alex193a\/status\/1507309531621122049?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">March 25, 2022<\/a><\/blockquote> <script async=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>This change has been speculated for some time now, as Instagram increase the prominence of video content (including Reels) on their platform, but this is the first real view we&#8217;ve seen. The updated view is currently only a prototype, so it may never come to fruition, however the Tweet proves Instagram are testing it internally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This prototype shows Instagram&#8217;s seemingly eventual goal to just fully become TikTok. Personally, while I haven&#8217;t used it, I hate it. I&#8217;m against social media platforms like Facebook and TikTok whose algorithm is designed to keep you on the platform for as long as possible with a never ending feed of content suggested to you. I much prefer the idea of catching up with what my friends are posting, then putting down the phone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the top left corner you&#8217;ll see Home. <a style=\"user-select: auto;\" href=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/instagram-chronological-feed\/\">This, as it&#8217;s now rolled out to all users, switches between three different viewing experiences.<\/a> It&#8217;s unclear whether switching to <em style=\"user-select: auto;\">Following<\/em> or <em style=\"user-select: auto;\">Favourites<\/em> will change the view back to the traditional Instagram Feed and Stories experience we&#8217;ve been used to for many years. However, I&#8217;m not holding out hope, as while these new views do bring back the classic chronological order or a new feed of close friends, they do not feature stories at the top, nor can you default to one of these views. Closing the app currently returns to the <em style=\"user-select: auto;\">Home<\/em> view.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As often happens with major redesigns of social media apps that have remained the same for years, this change will almost certainly be universally critised, however the real test will be whether Instagram can retain interactions and increase user engagements on the app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong style=\"user-select: auto;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/how-to-upload-music-to-instagram\/\">Want to know more about using Instagram as an artist, as well as uploading your music to Stories and Reels for free, click here!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gone is the Stories bar at the top, Instagram looks set to replace the feed with a single immersive view of Feed posts, Stories and Reels.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":9,"featured_media":91043,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[8879],"tags":[6207],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v18.4.1 -
