What is Explore?

The Instagram tab that recommends content from accounts you don't follow.

Explore is one of the main doors to new audiences. Whether content appears there depends on how people with similar interests engage with it.

To show up there, content must meet recommendation guidelines; content that doesn't is shown only to followers.
