Posted byu/[deleted]2 years ago Show  So I keep all notifications off on IG. Every few days I keep getting notifications on my alternate / meme accounts saying there's someone who I might know is on Instagram. I don't know or care who these people are, and I don't want these notifications. I've tried to turn them on and off again but nothing seems to stop them from coming. Was wondering if anyone has a similar issue ? How does Instagram determine if I know these people or not? Are these users looking at my Instagram profile? How does this work? Do you keep getting this notification in your Activity saying “(user), who you may know, is on Instagram. Would you like to follow them?” only to show you someone you have never known? Or sometimes it shows a person you met once last night and you get a notification of them even though you had never known them before or have their contact number? Some of these notifications seem very random while others seem eerily accurate. Where is Instagram getting such information from?
How does Instagram suggest ‘people who you might know’?Have you noticed that once you watch too many dog videos in a day, the explore section is then filled out with more dog videos? Instagram tracks your interests to suggest more content that you would like to see. In the same way, it provides you with connections that you have made with a well-made algorithm. Instagram is owned by Facebook so if you know somebody on Facebook, you will see them being suggested on Instagram and vice versa. https://twitter.com/TarrynLondon/status/761258398004412416 Instagram also uses contacts on your phone to show your friends that are on Instagram with whom you haven’t yet connected. Surprisingly, it also uses your search history and sends you a suggestion to follow someone if you have opened someone profile repeatedly or spent some time on their profile without sending a follow request. That means that Instagram knows when you are stalking somebody. Instagram also shows you people with whom you have a lot of mutual friends as there is a high chance you may know them. Instagram also collects data from your likes, websites that you have browsed, shares, comments, location history, etc. to suggest relevant people and content. Sometimes Instagram may also suggest people just because they are using a lot of the same hashtags that you are. https://twitter.com/jenisyub/status/870711436334383107 Can you disable these suggestions?Yes. While you cannot stop Instagram from collecting your information but you can remove these notifications if they bother you. Log into your Instagram account on a web browser (this feature is not available in the app) and go to your profile by clicking on your display picture. Click on ‘Edit profile’ and navigate to the bottom until you see ‘Similar account suggestion’. Just click on the tick mark to disable this feature and then hit ‘Submit’. For the last month or so, Instagram has been frequently sending me the following push notifications:
The account is never someone "I may know" in real life, so it does not seem to be based on a Facebook link or Contact / Phone Number. It seems to be based on Instagram interests / in-common followers / similar accounts. I have always had almost every notification setting turned OFF in Which specific Notification Setting controls these "who you may know" notifications? How can I stop seeing these notifications?

1 These have been annoying me as well. Unfortunately, you can't turn these off. You would have to turn off all Instagram notifications to get rid of it. answered Jan 23, 2021 at 20:54
EmilyEmily 111 bronze badge Is people you may know people who visit your profile Instagram?Can you see who views your Instagram profile? Instagram doesn't allow users to see who views their profile. So if you look through someone's profile and don't like or comment on a post, there's no way for them to know who sees the pictures.
Who u might know is on Instagram meaning?Instagram's "Users You Might Know" section contains people you already follow and those you unintentionally added. Also, using this information, Instagram makes recommendations for other accounts you might like to follow based on your contacts.
Why does Instagram suggest someone you may know?Mutual Friends – Instagram often suggests you follow people with many mutual friends. The more mutual friends you have with a person, the more likely they will appear in your list of suggested friends.
How do you get rid of the who you might know on Instagram?Instagram.com from a mobile browser:
Tap your profile picture in the bottom right to go to your profile. Tap Edit profile. Tap to uncheck the box next to Similar account suggestions, then tap Submit.
