All that is essentially Instagram-speak for: we know a lot of you still hate our algorithm, but now you won't have to worry about missing out. The company confirmed the message will appear when you've seen all the new posts from everyoneyou follow, not just those that the algorithm has shown most prominently.

The update should help alleviate concerns from users who are still unhappy with the app's move from a chronological to algorithmic feed. One of the chief complaints has been that they are now "missing" posts that would have otherwise appeared in their feeds.

Now, though, the app will tell you exactly when it's safe to stop scrolling.
