Do you have a burning question about the Instagram algorithm? If you do, chances are it may have been answered recently.

Instagram recently held a Q&A where it shared the ins and outs of the algorithm and publicly addressed some myths and rumours about how it works.  In this episode, we’ll give you a run through of the main questions Instagram answered during this Q&A and we’ll dive deeper into how the algorithm works based on some data Instagram shared a while back.

We then wrap up by sharing a new, little-known Instagram Stories feature that was recently released.
