6 Reasons Asking For Instagram Notifications Will Hurt You

Recently, Instagram announced that it’ll be moving away from their all-chronological feed, to one that uses an algorithm to put not-to-be-missed posts at the start of your feed, followed by those in chronological order (most seem to have missed that last part).
