Instagram is testing the ability for users to reset their recommendations, the company announced on Tuesday. By resetting your recommendations, you would be starting fresh and retraining the app\u2019s algorithm about the content you enjoy across your Explore page, home feed, and Reels tab.<\/p>\n

The feature is geared toward users who feel like their content recommendations no longer cater to their interests. For instance, you may have liked recipe videos in the past, but are no longer interested in them, yet that sort of content may be all you see on your Reels and Explore pages.<\/p>\n

The new addition is similar to a feature that TikTok rolled out last year that allowed users to reset their For You feeds<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Once you reset your Instagram recommendations, your content recommendations will start to personalize again over time based on the posts and accounts you interact with. If you choose to reset your recommendations, you will have the option to review your following list to unfollow accounts that share content you\u2019re no longer interested in. <\/p>\n

Instagram head Adam Mosseri posted a video on Instagram noting that the new feature isn\u2019t meant to be used frequently, as it\u2019s only designed for instances when you want a total refresh. <\/p>\n

\u201cI want to be clear, this is a big thing to do,\u201d Mosseri said. \u201cIt\u2019s going to make your Instagram much less interesting at first, because we\u2019re going to treat you as if we know nothing about your interests and it will take some time to learn those again. So it\u2019s not something I recommend doing all the time \u2014 but if you do end up in a place where you really don\u2019t feel good about your experience, this gives you an out.\u201d<\/p>\n

The new feature joins Instagram\u2019s current tools that let users curate their recommendations. Users can select \u201cInterested\u201d or \u2018Not Interested\u201d<\/a> on a post to signal how they feel about the content and whether they want more or less of it. They can also hide content with certain words or phrases in it using the social network\u2019s \u201cHidden Words\u201d <\/a>feature.<\/p>\n

Instagram says that while these tools are designed to help you curate your recommendations on a day-to-day basis, the new option to reset your recommendations is meant to be used when you want to completely start over. <\/p>\n

The new feature is rolling out globally \u201csoon,\u201d Instagram says. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
