Stop seeing suggested posts with certain words on Instagram
This feature is only available for the Instagram app for Android and iPhone.
When you hide a suggested post you see on Instagram, you can also choose to hide other suggested posts with hashtags or captions that have specific words, phrases or emojis.
Hide suggested posts with certain words
- Tap
above a post. For reels, tap
- Tap Not Interested, then tap
Don’t suggest posts with certain words.
- Enter a word, phrase, or emoji that you’d like to use to hide suggested posts. Note: You can add multiple items at once by separating each entry with a comma. (Example: entry1, entry2)
- Tap Done.
Note that it may take up to 24 hours to no longer see suggested posts that include the items you’ve added to your list.
Manage custom words and phrases
You can manage your list of custom words and phrases for suggested posts at any time.
To view or modify your list of words:
- Tap
or your profile picture in the bottom right to go to your profile.
- Tap
in the top right.
- Tap Suggested content.
- Tap Specific words and phrases.
Keep in mind
The items you add to your custom words and phrases list will:
- Need to be an exact match to hashtags used in a suggested post in order to hide the post.
- Not hide posts from accounts you follow even if captions or hashtags in posts they share include any items from your list.
- Not impact suggested posts you see when visiting your account from instagram.com.
- Only apply to hashtags and captions of suggested posts. This means that you may still see suggested posts with comments that contain items in your list.
