Timeliness

Instagram focuses a lot on the time of the post and wants to show you the most recent post. The algorithm pays attention to how much engagement your Instagram post gets while displaying how long ago the photo was posted.

The trick here is to find your personalized best time to post on Instagram, which will help you to hack the algorithm to increase your reach and get more likes and followers.

One more tip is to post at a time when your followers are online and most active, this increases the chances of you getting more likes.
