Over time, we are going to add more recommendations to your feed based on your interests Favourites and Following are new ways to catch up on recent posts from the accounts you follow," the company said in a statement.

Favourites shows users the latest from accounts that they choose, like their best friends and favourite creators. In addition to this view, posts from accounts in Favourites will also show up higher in home feed.

Following shows users posts from the people they follow. Both Favourites and Following will show users posts in chronological order to quickly catch up on recent posts.

To use Favourites and Following, users will need to tap on Instagram in the top left corner of the home page to choose what they see.
