How to delete who you might know on instagram?
From my experience, it's all about training the algorithm. Every time you see someone you don't want in "Who You Might Know," make sure to:- Never accidentally follow them (obvious but easy to do)- Always use the "Hide This" option- Avoid searching for people you don't actually want to connect withIt took me about 2-3 weeks of consistently doing this, but my suggestions are now mostly people I actually know and want to follow. The algorithm is pretty stubborn though - it really wants to show you people from your contacts and Facebook friends, so you might never completely eliminate it.Just be persistent - it does get better over time!
Oh man, I struggled with this too! Instagram's "Who You Might Know" suggestions can be pretty annoying, especially when they keep showing your ex or that coworker you're trying to avoid. Here's what I've found works best:- Tap the three dots (⋯) next to the suggestion you want to remove- Select "Hide This" - this tells Instagram you're not interested- The algorithm should learn from your preferences over timeIt's not a perfect system though - you might have to do this repeatedly for a while before Instagram gets the hint. I've noticed that consistently hiding suggestions from certain networks (like your contacts) eventually trains the algorithm to stop showing those types of connections.Pretty frustrating that there's no bulk remove option, but at least this method works gradually!
Hey! I actually researched this extensively because the suggestions were driving me crazy. There's no direct way to completely disable "Who You Might Know" but you can significantly reduce it by:1. Disconnecting connected accounts in Settings → Account → Linked Accounts2. Turning off contact syncing in Settings → Account → Contacts Syncing3. Removing imported contacts that Instagram already hasThe contact syncing part is crucial - if Instagram can't access your phone contacts, it has less data to make those "you might know" suggestions. Also, the more you use Instagram's "Hide This" feature, the better it gets at understanding who you actually want to see.I wrote a detailed blog post about managing Instagram privacy settings if you want more tips: https://www.socialmediatips.com/instagram-privacy-guideHope this helps you clean up your suggestions!
