We promise to let you know when the changes will take effect. “

In anticipation of the news a couple of weeks ago Instagram – owned by Facebook in 2012 with 400 million monthly active users – he had stated that the new timeline would arrive in the” next few months ‘, following in the footsteps not only of the same Facebook but also Twitter. However yesterday some influential blogs have begun to ask their users to “activate notifications” for their post, stating that the new timeline would be effective from today. Demands become viral in no time. On Change.org it has even launched a petition calling on Instagram to maintain the chronological order of the post (in a few hours has exceeded 300 thousand signatures). The tam tam has been such as to induce Instagram to intervene to clarify that, for now, the change is not active – but only in the testing phase – and when that happens there will be an official announcement.
