The controversy has been unleashed on Instagram since those responsible made public the decision to alter the chronological order of the contents displayed on this social network Thus, as has happened in Facebook or Twitter, a algorithm will take care of to collect the photos and videos that would most interest the user to show them as soon as they access the social network.Something that is not satisfying many of the creators of content, influencers or instagramers who participate in Instagram , and that they are running a campaign to make sure their followers see all their content Here's how to avoid missing out on photos or videos from your favorite Instagram account
The idea is simple, and as in other social networks, Instagram allows the most concerned usersBe aware of any content that is published on your favorite accounts. So, even if they decide to discard the chronological order, the user will receive notifications when their favorite accounts post new photos and videos , avoiding missing any detail. All you have to do is carry out a simple procedure.
It is enough for the user to click on the three dots that appear on the image or video in iOS, or under it on Android to display a small menu.Here it is possible to find the function activate notifications Of course, this feature only affects the accountto which said content belongs, so it is necessary for the user repeat this action with all those accounts whose content they want to see each and every one of
From this moment on, the Instagram application will notify you of the availability of a new photo or video just at the moment it is published Of course, as long as it comes from one of the accounts in which said notifications have been activated. In this way, and although they do not appear in chronological order when accessing the application, the userwill be able to click on the notification and consult the content without being forgotten.
This is why many accounts are sharing a similar image that reads the text “turn on notifications” (turns on notifications in Spanish), pointing with an arrow to the upper right corner of the image. A clear allusion to this function in iOS, to avoid that the contents go unnoticed by users who do not usually visit the application assiduously. And it is that the change of order can mean behavior modifications and a notable loss of views and likes for many creatorsAt the moment the movement is receiving support and rejection in equal parts.
With this change, Instagram wants the infrequent user of the social network to see what really interests them, even if 70% of the content published is lost along the way since the last time you consulted it.This will positively affect the most followed and relevant accounts, but negatively the users with less impact , whose contents may not be visible in users' timelines. A decision that seeks to improve the advertising earnings of the social network, highlighting some content over others, without the time of publication or viewing being the key criterion.
