Right now, Instagram It’s undergoing a significant change as it shows that it intends to change the algorithm it uses to display information and even the way it works with hashtags. Well, a new option has been discovered that is being tested and that many may not like.
It’s pretty clear what Instagram wants to have. more concrete control and therefore will encourage the use of its own algorithm in all possible sections (in principle to get a better user experience…). The thing is that a pretty big change in searches on the social network.
What is Instagram planning to do?
Well, the idea that the company has change results obtained while executing search by hashtags (it has become a very useful tool both as a way to find exactly what you want and to gain more visibility from creators). In other words, we are not talking about a completely small thing, because almost everyone who uses Instagram uses this function.
To date, the results have been shown in three tabs; it was something that could change by splitting into two. And what is one will disappear? The only thing you can’t control is: end. Here, the contents are displayed in order of publication with no consideration to anything but this parameter… so additional filtering is nearly impossible. The fact is that only Ball and Reels will now be visible.
Also what will be shown in the rest from now on will use the new Integran algorithm more and “…The newest and most compelling content for the user”. And that last parameter is key, because The internal process of the social network that will determine what is relevant and not. As such, creators and users won’t have an easy way to search for multimedia content unfiltered by an algorithm that, yes, would much prefer anything unique on the platform.
It is an option that is being tested.
Fortunately, all of this that we’re commenting on may never be true as it’s in the process. Scale in some users’ terminals. If the action is for the likes of Instagram – which is normal for this answer – it is likely that the changes we mentioned will be implemented for everyone. And then only the continued grievances of the statement could pull him back (on the other hand, this is something that won’t happen for the first time).
