Over recent days people have been noticing changes to their Instagram feed - and not many people have been loving it.
Taking to social media in their thousands, people have made their feelings quite clear with one user urging people to boycott the app and another launching a petition.
The recent Change.org appeal is asking people to bring back chronological timelines adding that they want to see their friends posts asking the app to "stop trying to be TikTok."

In the petition which has almost 300k signatures, creator Tati Bruening explained: "We have TikTok for a reason, and let’s face it, the only reels uploaded are recycled TikToks and content that the world has already seen. What’s innovative and unique about old stale content? Nothing!
"Lets go back to our roots with Instagram and remember that the intention behind Instagram was to share photos, for Pete’s sake, we didn’t have video on the app until the developers were scared of Vine. RIP vine by the way we miss that too.
"It feels wrong to switch the algorithm on creators that have made a living and contributed to the community forcing them to change their entire content direction and lifestyle to serve a new algorithm. Listen to the community. Take our thoughts and requests into consideration!
"The goal of this petition is to bring attention to what consumers want from Instagram and to start a conversation surrounding the health of our beloved app."
Another user to back changes to the photo sharing platform is natural light photographer, Alex Cameron. Taking to the app she uploaded a picture urging people to boycott the app next month.
The caption on her post reads: "On the 1st of August 2022 from 9am [BST] till midnight don’t open the Instagram app! Let’s see if losing a chunk of ad money makes them listen.
"As a photographer that excitedly joined the app over a decade ago I have seen a dramatic and very disappointing change in Instagram and it’s heart-breaking when this app represented so much of what I loved. Spread the word."
Many people replied to the post in support of her boycott adding they would be taking part due to also noticing a difference in their engagement with one explaining: "This is exactly what we need. Big instagramers like yourself leading the way. I’m in."
