New instagram algorithm

The ever-changing Instagram algorithm!

In 2020, Instagram introduced a new algorithm that prioritizes content that is most likely to engage users. Here are some key changes and updates:

1. Relevance: The algorithm now considers the relevance of the content to the user's interests and preferences. This means that posts that are more likely to resonate with the user will be shown higher in their feed.

2. Engagement: Engagement is still a key factor in the algorithm. Posts that receive more likes, comments, and saves are more likely to be shown to more users.

3. Timing: The algorithm now takes into account the timing of when a post is published. Posts that are published during peak hours (e.g., lunchtime or evening) are more likely to be seen by a larger audience.

4. User behavior: The algorithm now considers user behavior, such as how long a user spends on a post, whether they scroll past or engage with it, and whether they come back to the post later.

5. Content type: The algorithm now prioritizes content that is most likely to engage users, such as videos, Stories, and Reels.

6. Profile interactions: The algorithm now considers interactions with a user's profile, such as profile visits, profile clicks, and profile saves.

7. Hashtags: Hashtags are still important, but the algorithm now considers the relevance of the hashtags to the content and the user's interests.

8. Account type: The algorithm now considers the type of account, such as a business or creator account, and adjusts the content shown accordingly.

9. Post frequency: The algorithm now considers the frequency of posts from an account and adjusts the content shown accordingly.

10. User feedback: The algorithm now considers user feedback, such as hiding or reporting posts, to improve the overall user experience.

11. Content quality: The algorithm now considers the quality of the content, such as whether it is high-quality, visually appealing, and engaging.

12. Audience retention: The algorithm now considers audience retention, such as whether users come back to an account's content and engage with it over time.

13. Post duration: The algorithm now considers the duration of a post, such as whether it is a short-form video or a longer-form post.

14. Caption and description: The algorithm now considers the caption and description of a post, such as whether it is engaging, informative, and relevant to the user.

15. Image and video quality: The algorithm now considers the quality of the images and videos, such as whether they are high-quality, visually appealing, and engaging.

These changes aim to improve the overall user experience by showing users content that is most likely to engage and interest them.
