Instagram Explore Page: How to change or reset the page
Instagram is a well-known social media app used by millions of users across the globe. It allows users to share photos, videos, and reels with their friends, followers, and contacts. The Facebook-owned app enables users to connect with other Instagrammers, influencers, celebrities, thought leaders and brands.
While Instagramming has become the start and end of our day, the “Explore” tab of the app shows each user a feed that is based on their likes, people they follow, and searches but sometimes we may not want to view those and might wanna change it.
If you want to reset or change your Explore page on the Instagram app, here’s how you can do it.
