It should be more coherent to browse the app now that you won\u2019t lose your place because your feed randomly refreshes, and there shouldn\u2019t be as many disparate time stamps to juggle.

While it made sure you wouldn\u2019t miss the most popular posts from your close friends, showing days-old posts made Instagram feel stale.<\/p>\n<p>And for certain types of professional content creators and merchants, cutting their less likeable posts out of the feed \u2014 like their calls to buy their products or follow their other social accounts \u2014 was detrimental to their business.

While Facebook has become a core utility by bringing your real world identity to the Internet, Instagram is the pleasurable\u00a0escape from that real world.
