Its goal is to show users content they will find most relevant and engaging.<\/p><p>The IG algorithm considers various ranking factors aimed at keeping users on the app longer and increasing overall engagement, including the followings:<\/p><ul class=\"jsx-3171492710 blog-list\"><li class=\"jsx-1192362893 blog-list-item medium\"><strong>Interest<\/strong>: The algorithm analyzes each user\u2019s behaviors, such as the posts they engage with, to show similar content that aligns with their interests.<\/li><li class=\"jsx-1192362893 blog-list-item medium\"><strong>Timeliness<\/strong>: Recent posts are given higher priority, so newer content is more likely to be seen by users.<\/li><li class=\"jsx-1192362893 blog-list-item medium\"><strong>Relationship<\/strong>: The algorithm takes into account the users with whom you interact or the accounts you follow or engage with.<\/li><li class=\"jsx-1192362893 blog-list-item medium\"><strong>Frequency<\/strong>: If you open the app frequently, IG will show you the best content since your last visit.<\/li><li class=\"jsx-1192362893 blog-list-item medium\"><strong>Usage<\/strong>: The amount of time spent on the app during each session can
