Instagram changed its political content algorithm in February, but users are taking note now. Here's how to change the settings on the app.
Instagram stopped recommending political content to its 2 billion users in February, but now that campaign season is heating up, people are starting to notice. The February announcement from Instagram said it would be limiting political content only from accounts that users don’t follow – and that users can choose to still see them in their reels, recommendations and feeds.
If political content – potentially related to things like laws, elections, or social topics – is posted by an account that is not eligible to be recommended, that account’s content can still reach their followers in Feed and Stories.But the February announcement didn’t explicitly say that users would be automatically switched to the default position of limiting political content – and that they’d have to manually turn it on if they want politics in their feeds. That’s what has many users upset.
