Instagram is addressing a long-standing user frustration by changing how the app refreshes content. Previously, the app would refresh immediately upon opening, often causing users to lose sight of interesting content.

However, acknowledging its annoyance, Instagram will now wait for users to scroll before refreshing the feed, enhancing user experience.
