I just noticed that mine is no longer in chronological order. I was really hoping they would change their minds after all the negative feedback about it.

I only follow 7 people, but it appears to be in order.

Mine is still in order too, but I have to say that I miss the old camera icon / logo.

Not only is it not in chronological order, but it's not showing me everything. I was thinking that a few people I follow hadn't posted in a long time so I looked them up to be sure. They had posted several times. Instagram didn't put the pics in my feed, though.

I have a Windows phone and the app isn't the same as most people's (as in functionality etc) but I'm glad it's not just me. |

Yep. New Zealand was one of the first countries with the 'privilege' of switching to the algorithm feed a couple of months ago and I really hate it. It's hard to keep track of everything and several people I follow who post multiple times a day now have all their posts following each other which is really annoying. I used to find it really easy to see what I looked at based on time, now I go through liking everything so I can tell where I left off.
Improvement? Not IMO. I've written several complaints but of course IG isn't going to take any notice.

Mine is fine this morning. I had hoped they changed their minds about that update.

Mine is ok, but now dreading the inevitable change. I at least wish they'd let us choose. Why are they doing this? Is there some benefit to them? Is it to make more money? Am I going to have to pay to "boost" my posts like I do on Facebook? I think I just answered my own question...

Mine is all over the place Obviously the change that affected NZ have made it to Australia now. I don't like it at all.

When I go to the search page and get random instagram people, I seem to get the same pics/people over and over. I know some are suggested, but damn...change is up a little.

Yes it has. It's not in chronological order anymore.  I have only been on Instagram for a little while and just as I got the hang of it they went and changed it!!! |

I haven't noticed a huge change in the order and I do check posting times occasionally--but I really don't think I'm seeing everything that even my close friends post. |

Mine is a mess now. One picture will be from 10 minutes ago and the next one is from 18 hours ago. I will never understand the point of changing the algorithm. I want to see all the pictures of the accounts I subscribe to in the order they are posted so I can keep track of where I left off. I'm not exactly sure why they think they know what subscribers want to see more than the subscribers do.

Although, I will say (at the risk of jinxing myself) that for a while, my feed had a lot of ads in it (like every 10 pics or so). When they first appeared, I actually rebelled to the point of telling it I didn't like each ad and to hide them. Then they suddenly all disappeared. I'm not complaining about that. It was just weird. |

When they made that announcement, I have refused to update the instagram app to avoid the order changing.

Yes and I hate it. I like seeing pictures in the order in which they are posted. Weird thing is that my local friends pop up first even though I don't like or comment on their stuff more often than I do other things.

I don't like having to turn on notifications for people I follow. Following them should be enough to show that I want to see their posts. And those notifications are annoying! I've gone and turned them off because they were irritating me so much.

Mine changed (without me updating the app) about a month ago. I barely go on anymore because of it. Hate it.

I'm fairly new to instagram, but do you mean you have to go into settings in instagram to turn on notifications for each person? |

If you look at the top right corner of someone's post, there's three little dots, click on that and one of the choices is to turn on post notifications. When you do that, it sends push notifications when that person posts, so you won't miss anything. But, the notification is annoying - even on silent it buzzes loud. |

Mine doesn't seem to have changed yet. I heard they were rolling out the change gradually, starting in NZ and Australia. I don't understand the logic. I guess they wanted to ruin it like they already ruined Fb.  |

I checked my feed again and it is in order of time. The celebrities/big accounts I follow don't show up first. I heard about this a few months ago and have not updated the instagram app since.

I wonder if you can change that in your phone settings? I've turned off all app notifications except Facebook messenger. I'll try it and see what happens. I have an android phone, but I haven't chosen to be notified of new photos in instagram by clicking on those three little dots. |

I have no desire to get dozens of notifications every day. I just want it the way it was before and lots of other users do as well. It's obvious they aren't worried about what users want. I read an article that said the new algorithm will make it easier for them to target ads.
