Instagram has started showing content that we don’t even follow as recommended posts. To encounter this issue, you can turn off recommended content. Recently, Instagram received significant backlash for redesigning the platform and showing a full-screen home feed.
Today, they announced Instagram is temporarily reducing the recommended posts. According to reports, more than 16% of the content in the Instagram feed is served by Meta’s AI. Meta’s CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, plans to double this number by the end of this year.
If you aren’t happy with the recommendation feed and want to turn it off, here is a quick guide to the Snooze Instagram feed.
How to Disable Instagram Feed Recommendation Post
There is no option to disable the recommendation post permanently, but you can do it for a month (30 days); follow the following instructions mentioned below.
- Open Instagram and scroll through the feed to reach any of Instagram’s recommended posts. You can identify those posts by looking at shared information, such as “because you watched a reel from” or “because you follow.”
- Tap on the X, placed on the upper-right corner of the post. After taping it, Instagram will ask you to confirm your action.
