If you are wondering how to turn off suggested posts on Instagram, then this is the article for you.
As you scroll through your Instagram feed, you may come across suggested posts from Instagram. These posts are generally from pages you don't follow and appear after you've seen all the most recent posts from accounts that you follow.
We know it is impossible to turn off suggested posts on Facebook, but what about Instagram? Luckily, it's possible! And in this article, we will show you how to turn off suggested posts on Instagram.
How to turn off suggested posts on Instagram on iPhone and Android
Instagram doesn't have the option to fully turn off suggested posts. However, you can tweak your Instagram feed in a way that you only see posts from people you follow in your Instagram feed in reverse chronological order.
Here is how to turn off suggested posts on Instagram on iPhone and Android:
- Tap Instagram in the top left of your feed
- Then, tap Following and you are done.
Afterwards, you will only see posts from people you follow in your Instagram feed. You can select Favourites to see posts only from the people you have added to your favourites list.
How to turn off suggested posts on Instagram for 30 days
Alternatively, you can choose to snooze all suggested posts in your Instagram feed for 30 days. This doesn't change the order in which posts are displayed on your feed, unlike the previous method.
Here is how to turn off suggested posts on Instagram for 30 days on iPhone and Android:
- Go to the Explore page and select any post you see there.
- Tap the 3-dot icon on the top right.
- Select Manage suggested content.
- Toggle on the button next to Snooze suggested posts in feed.
Once you've completed this process, you won't encounter any suggested posts for the next 30 days. After the 30-day period expires, you'll need to manually repeat this action in order to continue avoiding suggested posts in your Instagram feed.
Instagram snooze suggested posts option not showing?
Instagram may occasionally remove or temporarily disable certain features as part of their ongoing updates and improvements.
So it's possible that the snooze suggested posts option was temporarily disabled. Don't panic though as the feature will be re-enabled by Instagram soon.
Updating the Instagram app to the latest version could potentially resolve the issue and make the snooze suggested posts option available again, as new features or updates are often introduced in app updates.
