Instagram‘s feed will now show users recommended posts, not based on your like or the people you follow, but from the popular posts from people, your friends follow that Instagram thinks you’ll like and displays them to you.

Instagram Recommended Posts

This feature was spotted while in testing a month ago and has since quietly gone live. Instagram has labeled “Recommended For You” clearly so as not to be confused with your own home feed. According to TechCrunch, the section will contain three to five suggested posts.

Previously if you wanted to see some recommended posts you would have to visit the Explore section, which clearly does not interfere with the user’s normal feed browsing. It is worth noting that, this very new section is an evolution of how Instagram has moved the chronological order in favor of algorithmic feed.

In addition to that, it also lets users follow hashtags instead of just people. Do note, hashtags give users the ability to follow interests like food, travel, landscapes and so on. The difference between following hashtags and the new recommended posts is the choice.

Well, if you can’t handle the new recommended posts thing, the best you can do is hide it temporarily. To do so, tap the hamburger menu above the posts and press hide. Not to forget, it is just a temporary solution.
