How do I change my explore feed on Instagram?
Instagram’s explore feed is a personalized section that showcases content based on your interests, recent activity, and the accounts you follow. If you’re not satisfied with the content you’re seeing or want to give your explore feed a fresh start, here’s a step-by-step guide on how to change it.
1. Open the Instagram app and go to your profile by tapping the icon in the bottom right corner.
2. Once on your profile, tap the three lines in the top right corner to open the menu.
3. Scroll down and tap on “Settings” to access the app’s settings menu.
4. In the settings menu, scroll down and tap on “Privacy and Security.”
5. Here, you’ll find an option called “Explore Feed.” Tap on it.
6. You’ll see two options: “For You” and “Following.” The “For You” option is the default setting that shows you a mix of content from accounts you follow and content from accounts you don’t follow but might be interested in. The “Following” option only shows you content from the accounts you follow.
7. To change your explore feed, simply tap on the option you prefer. If you want to see a broader range of content, choose “For You.” If you want to see only content from accounts you follow, choose “Following.”
8. After making your selection, tap “Done” or “Save” to apply the changes.
9. To reset your explore feed, you can also clear your search history and likes. Go to your profile, tap the three lines in the top right corner, go to “Settings,” then “Privacy and Security,” and tap on “Clear Search History” and “Clear Likes.” This will help refresh your explore feed by removing any search terms or likes that might be influencing the content you see.
Remember, the explore feed is designed to be personalized, so the more you interact with the app, the better it gets at showing you content you’ll enjoy. If you continue to find the content less than satisfactory, you can always adjust your interests and the accounts you follow to better tailor your explore feed.
