How can I reset Instagram Explore?
Instagram Explore is a feature that showcases content from accounts you might be interested in, based on your interests, activity, and the accounts you follow. However, sometimes the Explore page might become cluttered or not show relevant content. If you’re looking to reset Instagram Explore and start fresh, here’s a step-by-step guide on how to do it.
1. Open the Instagram app:
The first step is to open the Instagram app on your smartphone. Make sure you are logged in to your account.
2. Go to the Explore page:
Once you’re in the app, swipe right or tap on the “Explore” button at the bottom of the screen to access the Explore page.
3. Clear your search history:
If you have a search history on Instagram, it might be affecting the content shown in the Explore page. To clear your search history, tap on the search icon at the top of the screen, then tap on the “Clear” button next to “Search History.”
4. Clear your activity:
Instagram keeps track of your activity, such as the accounts you’ve visited, the posts you’ve liked, and the comments you’ve made. To reset this activity, go to your profile by tapping on the profile icon at the bottom right corner of the screen. Then, tap on the three lines in the top right corner, select “Settings,” and go to “Security.” Finally, tap on “Clear Activity.”
5. Log out and log back in:
After clearing your search history and activity, log out of your Instagram account and log back in. This will help reset the Explore page and show you new content based on your recent activity.
6. Give it some time:
After resetting your Instagram Explore, it might take a few hours or even a day for the content to refresh. Be patient and check back later to see the new content that Instagram has curated for you.
By following these steps, you should be able to reset Instagram Explore and have a fresh start with the content that appears on your Explore page. Remember that Instagram’s algorithm is designed to show you content that you’re likely to be interested in, so make sure to engage with the content you see to help improve the recommendations for the future.
