The ordering of suggested accounts in Instagram’s share list, the interface that appears when a user attempts to send a post or reel to another account, often appears non-sequential or illogical. This presentation is not based on a simple alphabetic or chronological arrangement of followers, but rather on a complex algorithm.
The share list ordering is significant as it influences user interaction and the visibility of certain accounts. It shapes how users connect and share content within their network. Initially, the list might have operated on a simpler basis, but over time, algorithms have evolved to prioritize relevance and engagement.
