Why Does Instagram Keep Suggesting Accounts? Here’s How to Fix It
Sometimes, Instagram suggests accounts you no longer want to see. Maybe it’s an old connection or just irrelevant now. Getting rid of these suggestions is straightforward.
Let me walk you through it step by step:
- Start by launching the Instagram app and heading to the search section (magnifying glass icon at the bottom).
- Tap on the search bar at the top and begin typing the name of the account you want to remove from suggestions.
- When the account appears in the list, tap on it to open their profile.
- Look for the three dots in the top-right corner of their profile. Tap on it to access options.
- From the menu that appears, select “Block.” Confirm your decision when prompted.
- Go back to the search bar and type in their name again. The account should no longer appear in your suggestions.
Blocking an account removes it from your search suggestions because Instagram assumes you no longer want any interaction with that profile. It’s a quick fix if you’re tired of seeing certain names pop up.
A Few Tips
- If blocking feels too harsh, you can also try unfollowing or muting them, but this might not fully remove them from suggestions.
- Clearing your search history can also help refine what Instagram suggests over time.
This process is simple, but it gives you more control over your Instagram experience. Tidy up your feed, and keep things relevant!
