The presence of suggested posts on Instagram is one of the reasons the social media platform has received some negative feedback recently. While the recommended content is not going away, Instagram aims to make them more tolerable with new ways to flag posts that are not interesting to the users.
Meta announced in a blog post on Tuesday that Instagram is testing two new ways that would give users more control over the types of suggested posts they see. The social media giant also reminded users that the app has existing options they can use to avoid suggested posts they do not want to see in the future.
Instagram is already testing an option to mark several suggested posts on the Explore page. This should allow users to flag multiple posts with the Not Interested button at once. “We’ll immediately hide those posts and refrain from showing you similar content in the future,” Meta said.
The “Not Interested” button is already available on the Instagram app. Users can use this option when they browse through the Explore page, and they come across a suggested post they do not like. But, for now, users have to do it for every post.
Instagram could also introduce an ability to avoid suggested posts based on their captions. The company will soon test an option to nominate keywords, phrases, emojis, and hashtags in captions for posts that users do not want to see. “Whether you’re seeing something that’s not relevant, or have moved on from something you used to like, you can use this feature to stop seeing content that’s not interesting to you,” Meta added.
It is unclear when these new methods will go live for all Instagram users. It also remains to be seen if both features will make it into the app. But they could be helpful options, especially the ability to select words and phrases that will be flagged down. This could lessen the chances of seeing posts that contain sensitive images and statements.
