Instagram is introducing a new feature that allows users to reset their content recommendations, providing a fresh start for their algorithmic feeds. This feature, rolling out globally soon, will enable users to clear the algorithmic content that appears in their main feed, Explore page, and Reels.
The “recommendation reset” feature is designed to give users more control over their Instagram experience, particularly for teens who may find their interests changing rapidly. By resetting their recommendations, users can ensure that the content they see aligns with their current passions and interests.
The process is simple, requiring just a few taps to clear existing recommendations. Instagram will then begin to personalize the feed again based on the accounts and content the user interacts with after the reset. Users will also be prompted to review their following list, allowing them to unfollow accounts that no longer align with their interests.
This new feature reflects Instagram’s ongoing efforts to enhance user experience and provide more personalized content. By giving users the ability to reset their recommendations, Instagram is empowering them to shape their online experience and discover content that is relevant and engaging.
