Normally when you get to the end of your feed, Instagram merely shows a Youre all captured up! message and lets you view older posts. Rather, after stated message, youll now see recommended posts from other accounts by default– including advertisements, of course.
As if Instagram werent addictive adequate currently, the company is including a brand-new function thats intended to keep you scrolling through your feed even longer. Beginning today, Instagram will load Suggested Posts at the end of your feed, as soon as youre all captured up with updates from good friends and other accounts you follow.

Fortunately, you can still view older posts at the tap of a button– youll see the option right under the captured up message. You can likewise tell Instagram when youre not thinking about a suggested post by tapping the three-dot menu and choosing not interested; thatll tell the algorithm it has some tweaking to do. Sadly, you can not disable recommended posts altogether– theyre here to remain.

As pointed out by Engadget, the function does appear similar to the way TikTok operates; its an easy way to keep users engaged and discovering new accounts. Instagram does have the Explore tab for those functions too, but I personally never ever go to that hub. The brand-new functionality might in theory be more smooth– or insidious, depending upon your viewpoint.
