Since people will not be notified if they are added or removed from theFavourites list, it can be edited at any time.

Meta aims to increase user-friendliness and said, “We want you to be ableto shape Instagram into the best possible experience, and giving you waysto quickly see what you’re most interested in is an important step in thatdirection.”
