Better control over who can discover your profile via suggestions
A tool or feature that lets users control which accounts or audiences can see their profile in social media recommendation/suggestion systems, including preventing alt accounts, specific followers, or demographic groups from discovering their profiles.
SOURCE TRANSMISSION
Instagram has been really freaky with how they handle connections or maintaining them separate from others, I've had my own alt appear on my main as suggestions despite not adding the number. It's nuts!
“its honestly a bit scary, i wish there was a way to control who ur profile gets suggested to better :(”
CLASSIFIER RATIONALE
The parent + reply together express genuine unmet demand: the parent describes a specific problem (unwanted cross-account suggestions on Instagram), and the reply signals desire for better control over profile visibility/suggestion targeting. This is a category-level gap in social media privacy controls, not a complaint about a specific bug in one app.
