A confirmation screen will appear, so tap 'Reset suggested content.'



This completes the reset of recommended content.



Instagram says that recommendations will start to become more personalized over time again, and new content will be surfaced based on user behavior.

'When you reset your Instagram, it will be less interesting because it will have to relearn your interests and habits,' said Adam Mosseri, head of Instagram. 'That's why we don't recommend resetting your Instagram too often.'




Meta said of the feature, 'Not only do we want to provide built-in protection from sensitive content for all Instagram users, but we also want to give teens new ways to shape their Instagram experience so that it can continue to reflect their passions and interests as they grow.'

According to Meta, the feature will be rolled out globally soon.
