As you scroll through Instagram, don’t be surprised if you see strangers’ photos on your feed from now on.
However, Instagram is trialling a new feature for those who manage to get through every new photo and video from those they follow: suggested posts.
Until now, your Instagram feed was entirely determined by the people you follow. You could check out recommended posts via the Explore page, but these never intruded on your personal feed.
Going forward, however, suggested posts will appear in your feed once you finish scrolling through posts from accounts you follow. The suggested posts will come from accounts you don’t follow but are related to content you engage with. While they won’t feature IGTV or Reels posts, some adverts will be included.
