Instagram will notify you when you see all the photos of the people you follow

While waiting for the long-awaited chronological order of our contacts' publications to return to Instagram, the most popular photography social network today stands out with a function that seems to warn you that it is going to delay. It is nothing less than a notice by which the application warns you that you have already seen all the photos of the users and there is nothing new to see. A good way to avoid being glued to Instagram all day waiting for something new to catch your eye?

Instagram wants to let you know that you've seen it all

We said before that this new function seems to be quite far from the arrival of chronological posts. think well If we had a wall of chronological posts, we would know, more or less, when we have reached the end of the new publications and we would not need to be notified. But since they are out of order and the photos from yesterday, the day before yesterday and 3 days ago are mixed up, we are not sure for sure Does the arrival of this new notice mean a step backwards in the decision to re-include the photos in chronological mode?

Numerous users are reporting to the TechCrunch website that, after browsing for a while, they get the message 'You're All Caught Up – You've seen all new post from the past 48 hours ' , which translated would come to say something like 'You're already up to date – You've seen all the new posts in the last 48 hours'.Instagram itself has not revealed whether this message should be treated literally (that is, you have seen each and every one of the photos and videos that your users have uploaded) or somewhat 'sui generis' ( You have actually seen the posts corresponding to Instagram's algorithm, which it considers to be the ones that interest you).

User he alth and exposure on Instagram

In the last Facebook F8 annual conference, Mark Zuckerberg announced his express desire to benefit the user in relation to their relationship with social networksAnd this new function seems to be the first step in this direction, because, in theory, it would 'calm' the user's anxiety in search of new material, since with messy posts you never really know when you're done. But this is not the only function that seeks, in theory, the well-being of the user of social networks.

The developers have also included in the application's code a feature called 'Users Insights', which has not yet been released, and which would reveal to the user how much time a day they spend on the Instagram social network . Thus, Mark Zuckerberg's company wants to put the user in a situation and, once he sees the time used, he considers it appropriate to take a vacation from the network or take it more calmly. We have already warned here about the dangers of FOMO, a new pathology that occurs in the individual and that forces him to be permanently connected due to the 'fear of missing something'.

We still have a lot to learn about the he althy management of social networks and companies have a duty to participate in user education. For this reason, sections like this 'Users Insight' are revealed as something necessary, at least until we are able to know for ourselves how important social networks really are in our lives
