Back in July, Instagram launched a feature called “You’re All Caught Up” which is basically a digital wellness initiative where the idea is that once you’ve gone through all the new posts by the people you follow, you can put your phone away and not be tempted to keep scrolling. However despite rolling out such a feature, Instagram seems intent on putting out new features that could contradict it.

According to Android Police, it appears that Instagram is testing out a new UI for its app where users have the option of viewing their feed based on Instagram’s recommendations, and a separate tab where users can browse older posts. Like we said this seems to contradict the whole point of the digital wellness feature as it looks like it actively encourages users to check not only one feed, but two feeds.

That being said, this is only a test which means that there’s no guarantee that Instagram has plans to make it an actual feature. To be fair Instagram has been testing out a variety of things, more recently we’ve heard how the company is testing Story-like navigation for its feed, where instead of scrolling users can just tap left or right to go to the previous or next post. However like we said, none of these features have been implemented yet and are only in testing and seen by a handful of users, so there’s nothing to worry about just yet.
