To clean an Instagram feed, several effective steps can be followed:
- Unfollow accounts that no longer interest you or post unwanted content to immediately improve your feed relevance.
- Use the "Not Interested" option on posts or videos that you do not want to see; this teaches Instagram your preferences and filters the algorithm.
- Clear Instagram search history and cache (on Android) or reinstall the app (on iPhone) to remove residual data influencing suggestions.
- Regularly review and update your profile, including your bio and account details, to keep your identity on Instagram fresh.
- Follow new creators and topics that align with your current interests to refresh the content you receive.
- Use Instagram's "Reset Suggested Content" feature under Settings > Content Preferences to reset and rebuild your feed algorithm from scratch.
- Optionally, use the Favorites feature to prioritize content from accounts that matter most to you.
By combining these actions—pruning unwanted accounts, resetting content preferences, and engaging with new relevant content—you can successfully clean and personalize your Instagram feed.
