How to Turn Off Suggested Posts on Instagram: A Step-by-Step Guide

Instagram’s suggested posts can be a useful way to discover new content, but they can also clutter your feed with posts you may not be interested in. If you want to regain control over your Instagram feed and turn off suggested posts, this guide will walk you through the process.

Step 1: Open Instagram

Start by opening the Instagram app on your mobile device. Ensure you are logged into your account.

Step 2: Access Your Profile

Tap on your profile picture or the profile icon at the bottom right corner of the screen. This will take you to your Instagram profile.

Step 3: Go to Settings

Once you’re on your profile, look for the three horizontal lines (hamburger menu) at the top right corner of the screen. Tap on it to open the menu.

Step 4: Navigate to Settings

In the menu, scroll down and find “Settings” at the bottom. Tap on “Settings” to access your Instagram settings.

Step 5: Find Account Settings

In the Settings menu, scroll down to find “Account” under the “Privacy and Security” section. Tap on “Account” to proceed.

Step 6: Access Suggested Posts

Under the “Account” settings, you’ll see various options. Look for “Suggested Posts” near the bottom of the list and tap on it.

Step 7: Toggle Off the Suggested Posts

You’ll now be in the “Suggested Posts” settings. To turn off suggested posts, simply toggle the switch to the off position. This will disable the feature and prevent suggested posts from appearing in your feed.

Step 8: Confirm Your Choice

Instagram may show you a confirmation message explaining that turning off suggested posts will limit your ability to discover new content. If you’re sure you want to proceed, tap “Turn Off” or a similar confirmation option.

Step 9: Exit Settings

After disabling suggested posts, you can exit the settings menu. Simply tap the back arrow or navigate back to your profile.

Congratulations! You’ve successfully turned off suggested posts on Instagram. Your feed will no longer be populated with content suggested by Instagram, giving you a more personalized experience. You can always return to the settings and toggle the switch back on if you decide to re-enable suggested posts in the future.

By following these steps, you can take control of your Instagram feed and tailor it to your preferences. Enjoy a more streamlined and personalized Instagram experience!
