Instagram has listened to users and brought back a much-loved feature — in the most annoying way possible.

Instagram has finally given in and allowed you to bypass the company’s infamous ranking algorithm.

This means you can view posts from accounts you follow in strict chronological order, with the most recent posts showing first.

However, this change doesn’t mark a return to the pre-ranking era.

It will, in fact, pave the way for Instagram to push even more potentially unwanted content into your main feed

The problem, for many users, is that the curated main feed will always remain the default option when you open the app.
