Meta AI Makes Instagram Fun Again

While Meta AI isn’t the most comprehensive AI tool, it does have a specific use on Instagram to help users find more content to enjoy. Users can ask Meta AI to provide posts and accounts on topics they like.

It's hard to find interesting content on Instagram

Lately, it’s been harder and harder to find what you want to see on Instagram. There are more ads taking up space in your home feed than ever before. The unskippable Instagram ad experiment can even make you want to stop using the platform. It’s time-consuming to sift through them to get to your friends’ posts or fun stories. And the Explore page can be equally frustrating.

The Explore page shows you what you've watched or even what you've liked. But Meta AI can make it easier to get to the content you want to watch.

How to Ask Meta AI to Find Interesting Content for You

There are two main ways to find quality, interesting content on Instagram using Meta AI. Obviously there are many ways to interact with Meta AI, but these are the most reliable.

1. Ask Meta AI about the creator or account

You can ask Meta AI to list accounts that post certain types of content so you can follow them and add that content to your home feed. For example, if you have a corgi, ask Meta AI to suggest some popular corgi accounts.

Meta AI will list accounts with clickable links to help users explore the platform. Depending on the search, it can even provide information about the type of content the account posts.

2. Ask Meta AI about Reels

It’s worth noting that Meta AI won’t suggest static image posts for some reason, but instead shows a bunch of Reels. This allows you to tap on a Reel to immediately see the content you want to see. Using the previous example, try asking Meta AI Reels about corgis.

These Reels can be clicked on in messages to access them, making them easy to browse. You should definitely give Meta AI a try, even if you don't think you'll like it. You can always turn Meta AI off after you try it if you don't find it useful.

Meta AI can connect you with online communities on Instagram that you'll enjoy checking out and participating in. It's a great tool to expand your Instagram use beyond just viewing your friends' photos.
