The functionality allowing users to find and connect with others on the Instagram platform, often presented as a “Discover People” feature, can be managed or eliminated depending on user preferences and platform updates. While specific methods and options change over time, the underlying goal is to refine the suggested connections presented to the user or to remove the feature entirely from view. This action aims to curate the user’s experience and prioritize privacy or control over suggested connections.
Managing suggested contacts and the “Discover People” option offers individuals greater control over their social media presence and who they connect with. Historically, users have sought ways to refine algorithmic suggestions to reduce unwanted contact or simplify their overall Instagram experience. This control is beneficial for those prioritizing privacy, minimizing distractions, or focusing solely on specific content categories or existing connections.
