In February, Instagram posted that it would not 'proactively recommend political content from accounts you don't follow.'
SAN DIEGO — Changes to Instagram and Threads have been in process for months related to political content and what may show up in your recommended feed. Instagram said"If you decide to follow accounts that post political content, we don’t want to get between you and their posts, but we also don’t want to proactively recommend political content from accounts you don’t follow."
The February post also explained that Instagram was"extending their existing approach and how they treat political content" and confirmed that they would not be proactively recommending content about politics in feeds. These changes have been noticed recently by users of Instagram - many jumped to another social platform - X - to complain about it.
The option to control if you want to see more or less political content is left up to the individual user to make an update in their settings. This control is automatically set to the default (Social topics "This affects suggestions in Explore, Reels, Feed, Recommendations, and Suggested Users," Instagram's settings menu explains."It does not affect content from accounts you follow.
