Announcing this in the February blog , Meta said it will “no longer actively recommend political content” on Instagram and Threads*. Their goal, they say, is for these platforms to remain “a great experience for everyone.”
However, many users were unaware of this policy change. The option to limit political content is located in the application settings menu, in the “Content Settings” section in the “Settings and Activity” subsection. There are two options here:
Limit: This is the default setting, meaning you will see a minimum amount of political content on the recommendations page.
Unlimit: Selecting this option will allow you to see more political and social topics in the offered content.
It is important to note that this setting does not affect the content from the accounts you are subscribed to.
