A big change is coming to Instagram users' post feed. Daniela Gavarrete has the story in this Bobcat Update

With more than 400-million users, Instagram is making changes to accommodate the interests of its predominantly 18-to-34-year-old user demographic. Rather than a chronological timeline, the app's algorithm will now sort and choose posts based on the user's activity.

Many users are urging their followers to turn on notifications for their posts so followers receive an alert every time they post. There's concern that the users' posts might be drowned out by more popular ones.

For accounts with a big number of likes and followers, such as the official Texas State Instagram, the change might come as a benefit.

But for regular users, the algorithm change might be an inconvenience because of the extra steps required to keep up with their peers' posts.

What is currently a mixed feed of selfies, throwback Thursdays, and memes, will soon transition into what Instagram finds the most relevant for you. May the best content win. For Bobcat Update, I'm Daniela Gavarrete.
