Use these quick tips to reset the suggested reels and posts you see on your Instagram timeline and start fresh with different content.<\/span><\/p>\n

Instagram uses a ton of factors to target and serve you reels, posts, ads, and other content that it thinks you’ll find engaging. One of the most important parameters is your watch history.<\/p>\n

For instance, even if you watch just a couple of videos of, say, a person in skimpy clothes dancing, you may soon find that your suggestions are full of similar videos.<\/p>\n

Or if you hand your phone to someone else, like a teenager, and they view content of their choice, your future recommendations may be based on that and totally irrelevant to you.<\/p>\n

If you don’t want to see those suggested content, you can reset your preferences and also take a few other steps to finetune your Instagram experience.<\/p>\n

Reset your Instagram content preferences<\/h2>\n

1)<\/strong> Open the Instagram app, go to your profile screen, and tap the hamburger menu icon<\/strong> at the top.<\/p>\n

2)<\/strong> Tap Content preferences<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"Content <\/p>\n

3)<\/strong> Tap Reset suggested content<\/strong> and then hit Next<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"Reset <\/p>\n

4)<\/strong> You can now choose to review who you follow and your ad topics or skip this for now. Then, tap Reset Suggested Content<\/strong> and confirm.<\/p>\n

\"Reset <\/p>\n

After a few seconds, you’ll see the \u201cYour suggested content has been reset\u201d message on the screen.<\/p>\n

\"Your <\/p>\n

Tweak your content preferences settings<\/h2>\n

When resetting your suggested content in the above steps, you’ll notice additional options that let you decide if you prefer sensitive<\/a> or political content<\/a>.<\/p>\n

You can also add words and phrases to the exclude list. And then suggested posts with those words\/phrases in hashtags and captions won’t be shown to you.<\/p>\n

\"Content <\/p>\n

Mark a photo or video as ‘interested’ or ‘not interested’<\/h2>\n

When you come across a reel or suggested post on Instagram that you don’t like, simply tap the Not Interested<\/strong> button. Conversely, if you like something and would want to see more of it, tap the Interested<\/strong> button instead. You’ll usually see these after resetting content preferences (first tip above).<\/p>\n

\"Not <\/p>\n

Even if you don’t see these clear buttons, you can tap the three dots icon<\/strong> and choose Not Interested<\/strong> or Interested<\/strong>. Over time, marking content as interesting or not will fine-tune your Instagram user experience.<\/p>\n

\"Tap <\/p>\n

Decide who you follow<\/h2>\n

Instagram also takes your following list into account to show suggested content. For instance, if you follow Tesla, Ford, Toyota, and other such brand accounts, Instagram may frequently suggest car-related reels and posts. Go through your following list every few months or so and unfollow accounts that no longer seem relevant to you.<\/p>\n

These simple tips should help reduce filth and useless content on Instagram and replace your feed with more of what you like.<\/p>\n
