About Political Content Control on Instagram and Threads
On Instagram, we don’t recommend political content from accounts you don’t follow. You won’t see political content in Reels, Explore, In-Feed Recommendations or Suggested Accounts. If you follow Instagram accounts that post about these topics, you’ll still see those posts in your Feed and Stories.
On Threads, we also don't recommend political content from profiles you don't follow. You won't see political content in In-Feed Recommendations, Suggested Accounts or Notifications. If you follow Threads profiles that post about these topics, you'll still see those posts in your Feed.
Political content includes content that mentions:
- Governments
- Elections
- Social topics
If you want to see more or less political content, you can change your Political Content Control setting at any time. This control is automatically set to the default (Limit political content from people you don't follow). This control identifies whether content or accounts are political in nature but does not make determinations about political opinion.
