Instagram is working on bringing back the chronological timeline

The company is still keeping the algorithm around in case some people like it or dislike it. It won't be compulsory, with the service aiming to offer different options on how to sort your timeline, including prioritising more recent posts or posts from your favourite accounts.

"We want to be clear that we're creating new options, so people can decide what works best for them, not everyone reverting to a chronological feed," the company said. "You can expect more on this early next year!"

This doesn't mean that the feature will arrive next year, only that more information will be forthcoming. It's one step closer to the return of a feature that has been missing from the photo sharing app.

When we can expect the new prioritisation options, or if any more will be offered besides the ones mentioned, was not given. The company directed the website to their statements.
