The Instagram algorithm automatically orders posts on the feed to let you see what you might like more first. Today Instagram is testing a feature that allows modifying this behavior, choosing which posts should be shown higher in your feed.

He has just discovered a new feature under development, that allows customizing your feed considering your priorities: you will be able to choose specific users whose posts should have a major priority. Those users will be called "favorites". When you choose a new favorite, he won't be notified about this action.
This feature is under development, it will be available in a future update and alex193a has no information about its public availability.
