Turning off suggested posts on Instagram affects the platform's algorithmic feed by removing the positions that would have been proposed based on a user's past interactions and interests.
This means the algorithm will no longer use suggested posts to inform the content in a user's feed. Instead, the feed will only show posts from the accounts that a user follows.
This can result in a more personalized and intentional Instagram experience and limit the user's exposure to diverse content.
Users must consider the potential effects on their feed and engagement before turning off suggested posts.
