【Watch Erotica Manila Episode 1 (2023)】

Instagram just threw you a bone.

Meta,Watch Erotica Manila Episode 1 (2023) the company formerly known as Facebook, announced Tuesday that, after almost six disjointed years, Instagram users can once again view their feeds in chronological order. The company unveiled two new feed options, Favorites and Following, tacitly acknowledging that its algorithm-fueled home timeline isn't cutting it for some users.

"Favorites shows you the latest posts from a list of specific accounts that you choose, and Following shows you posts from people you follow," explained the press release. This stands in contrast to the home feed, which is littered with "suggested posts and ads from businesses[.]"

"Over time, we're going to add more recommendations to your feed based on your interests — Favorites and Following are new ways to catch up on recent posts from the accounts you follow."
