JAKARTA - Meta is updating the Status Account feature on Instagram, which will help people with professional accounts understand whether the content on their accounts is eligible to be recommended to their non-followers or not.

The status of the Account was first introduced in 2021 ago. This feature allows you to see what happens to your account and content distribution.

With the presence of this update, Instagram aims to help creators understand better what content can be recommended to accounts that are not part of their followers.

With this change, Instagram will allow anyone using a professional account to see if their current posts are recommended or blocked. The following are the details of the updates Instagram has given to Account Status:

Now you can see if your content is eligible to be recommended to non-followers in places like Explore, Reels, and Feed Recommendations.

If your account content is not eligible to be recommended, you can see an example of your content or profile component that may conflict with our Recommendation Guidelines and any content that has been removed for violating our Community Guidelines.

If you don't meet the requirements, you can fix the problem by editing or deleting posts that may conflict with our Recommendation Guidelines. You can also ask the Instagram review team to review if you think the company made a mistake.

This update comes as the company learns that creating Instagram recommends content is a great way to reach new fans and increase the number of viewers for creators.

"That's why it's important for us that creators understand our guidelines and can find out if something they have posted or have on their profile can affect their reach to non-followers," wrote Instagram in its update.

With this update, Instagram hopes to help creators understand the problem with their accounts and better explain how platform systems and rules work.
