Instagram I don't believe has it either, and was a major breaking point for me years ago when someone coaxed me into trying it. Their "algorithm" has no place in a followers-only tab, so they will likely never add it.

I really hated when they switched from chronological order to the algorithm, now the app is useless except for my gf sending me her daily memes, the feed is just a bunch of nonsense from people I don't know or content from days ago from people I do

the feed is trying to get you to look at ads and buy shit. that's what

You can turn off the algorithm stuff in the settings, but it resets monthly.

IG does have Following (posts from everyone you follow) and Favorites (the ones you give that designation to). When you open up the app they give you everything (accounts you follow and those they suggest.for you). The drop down to pick Following or Favorites is hidden in the IG logo.

Instagram has a following tab, you have to tap the logo at the top and switch it. It also reverts back to the algorithm frequently so have to constantly switch it around.

It does have a following tab actually, it's an option at the top of the app, I forget exactly where

I think there was a following only tab at some point. Not sure if it exists now though.
