Instagram is currently testing a new auto-scroll feature with a subset of users. This function introduced an 'auto scroll' toggle within post settings, allowing users to enable automatic scrolling through their main feed. As a result, users can view posts without manually swiping to the next update. The update was noticed and shared by earningwithdedra, a thread user on the platform.
The new feature applies to posts within the main Instagram feed and does not affect Reels, which already have an auto-scrolling option available. While much of Instagram’s content is in the form of Reels, the primary focus of this update is the main feed experience.
Auto-scrolling has been implemented on other platforms, such as TikTok and YouTube, where it has proven to be a popular option for users. Instagram’s move appears to be aligned with industry trends to enhance user convenience and streamline content consumption.
Instagram has not publicly confirmed a timeline for a broader rollout of this feature.
