However, the stories are temporary and only last for 24 hours. Instagram stories are a great feature to share your journey with your followers. Today Instagram stories have become more popular than the OG Snapchat. Tap ‘following’ and viola, there’s your chronological feed.To cater to its users Instagram introduced the story feature just a few years ago. But if you’d like to view your actual Instagram feed in chronological order, there is a way! If you tap where it says ‘Instagram’ on the home screen, you should see two options appear – one that says ‘following’ and one that says ‘favourites’. You know, like if you’ve got a crush on someone or a Wagatha Christie-esque case on your hands. While that does make sense, we do sometimes wish we could see who has viewed our Instagram story in chronological order.

‘There are a lot of confounding factors, do you visit their profile, like their feed post, comment on their feed post, view their stories? Do you check the list multiple times? If you, tries to show you a new set of people, it’s trying to give you new information every time you check the list.’ ‘The people that show up on that list are not the people that stalk you the most, it’s actually based on your activity and the people you’re closest to,’ he said. Julian Gutman, product lead for Instagram Home, revealed the way it actually works to The Verge back in 2018.

The pictures and videos that come up on our feed might be controlled by that pesky algorithm, but what about the order of people who view our Instagram story? It’s clearly not chronological and it turns out, it’s not got anything to do with who ‘stalks’ you the most either. The Instagram algorithm is something we love to hate and hate to love – we don’t really understand it, but what we do know is that we keep missing our friend’s posts and instead see random videos from accounts we’ve never heard of before. In fact, Instagram came under fire earlier this year for trying to change users’ feeds to contain more videos, which people complained was too much like TikTok.
