Teens frequently encounter inappropriate **Instagram** influencers or accounts, which results in their feeds being flooded with similar content suggestions. This may range from mostly benign topics, like horror film fan forums, to more alarming subjects, such as influencers advocating disordered eating or conspiracy theories.

Thankfully, Instagram is now implementing a solution. On Tuesday, the platform revealed it is testing a new “reset” feature that will enable users to remove undesired content recommendations based on their recent interactions and followed accounts. This tool, which is anticipated to be launched globally after a short testing period, will be accessible within the content preferences menu. With only three clicks, users can reset suggestions for Instagram’s Explore, Reels, and Feed sections. During the reset process, users will also be encouraged to assess and unfollow accounts they no longer wish to connect with.

This feature is not limited to teens—Instagram is making it available to all users, acknowledging that a feed filled with irrelevant or uninspiring content is a common concern, not just a teenage issue. Instagram already provides users the ability to customize their suggestions by marking posts as “interested” or “not interested” and by concealing content containing specific words or phrases in the captions.
In recent months, Instagram has launched several additional features focused on enhancing teen safety and well-being. In September, the platform introduced **Teen Accounts** with more stringent privacy settings for users under 16. More recently, Instagram unveiled tools to address **financial sextortion**, a crime that significantly impacts teens and can have severe repercussions.
Instagram’s parent company, Meta, is presently facing a **lawsuit** alongside other prominent social media platforms. The lawsuit alleges that these companies exploit children and adolescents by exposing them to an “algorithmically-generated, endless feed” designed to keep them scrolling. Meta has refuted these claims.
