While I was scrolling through my feed, I noticed <strong>Reel Suggestions<\/strong>. Instagram gives you <strong>Reel Suggestions<\/strong> in the middle of your feed. This started irritating me a little (must have been hungry), so I wanted to find out how to stop them. With a little research, I found out how to hide these from my view.
