How to turn off Instagram’s feed recommendations for an entire month - The Verge

If Instagram’s suggested posts are taking away from your enjoyment of the app, it’s possible to stop seeing them in your feed for 30 days at a time. Here’s how to clear them away.

Instagram might be walking back its horribly received TikTok-style redesign and cutting down on the app’s constant avalanche of recommendations, but that won’t prevent recommended content from appearing in your feed altogether. It turns out there’s a fix for that you might not be aware of; I didn’t even know it was a thing until Instagram head Adam Mosseri casually mentioned it in one of his Stories earlier this week.

It’s possible to snooze recommendations and suggested posts from your main Instagram feed for 30 days. Hallelujah! And even better — it only takes a couple taps.

I suspect not many people even know about that useful “snooze” option.

From the options listed, tap on snooze all suggested posts in feed for 30 days. After that, a green checkmark will appear, with confirmation that your feed won’t contain suggested posts for the next 30 days.

    Savor the next month, for it will be free of posts that you care nothing about.

And with that, you’re all set. Keep in mind that clearing your feed of suggested posts won’t stop you from seeing Instagram’s many in-feed advertisements. But it’s a handy way of taking at least some greater control over how the app works for you.

Don’t forget that you can also now sort your feed chronologically by tapping the Instagram logo at the upper left and choosing Following.
