Chronological feeds Best Practice

Chronological feed sorts events in order of when they were created, usually from newest to oldest. This is the oldest and most traditional type of feed. The purpose of such a feed is to present a timeline of events.

Nowadays, not many apps use purely chronological feeds. Avoid a chronological feed if you know that you’ll want to eventually replace it with an algorithm-based feed. Sudden changes like that will upset users.[1]

Pro Tip: Chronological feeds are best when real time is a core component of your app. For example, if you want to display users' activities or places they visited during a specific period.
