How to hide Instagram posts you're not interested in
What's the story
Sometimes, you come across an Instagram post that doesn't quite spark your interest—maybe it's off-brand, irrelevant, or just not your vibe.
Instead of letting it clutter your feed or bore you, why not hide it? Hiding a post allows you to keep your feed fresh and tailored to your preferences.
As soon as you select the option, Instagram will remove the post and show fewer similar posts in the future, helping you curate your online space.
Process
Hiding unwanted content
If you come across a post you're not interested in on your feed, Reels, Explore, or Search, you can opt to see fewer posts like it.
Simply tap the more actions (three-dot) button on the content and select "Not Interested."
Alternatively, you can press and hold a reel or post in the Explore feed, and then tap "Hide" to remove that particular content from your feed.
More options
Reporting offensive content on Instagram
If you come across content that violates Instagram's Community Standards, you can choose to report it.
Simply tap the three-dot button on the content, click on "Report," and follow the on-screen instructions.
Remember, your report is anonymous unless you're reporting an intellectual property violation. The account you report won't be able to see who filed the report.
