Instagram users worldwide are facing a strange problem disturbing and inappropriate reels are suddenly appearing on their feeds. Many users have taken to social media to complain that their recommended content is becoming uncomfortable, irrelevant, or even upsetting.

Usually, Instagram's algorithm suggests reels based on a user's interests, likes, and interactions. However, in recent weeks, people have reported seeing violent, scary, or offensive content even when they haven't searched for it. Some users say these reels show harmful topics, while others claim the app is promoting low-quality and spammy videos.

The issue seems to be affecting people across different countries. Many have asked Instagram's parent company, Meta, to fix the problem. Some believe the platform's algorithm might be broken, while others suspect that spam accounts are taking advantage of Instagram's recommendation system.

Meta has not officially explained why this is happening, but users are trying different ways to fix it. Some have changed their account settings, reported unwanted reels, or even taken a break from the app.

This situation has raised concerns about how Instagram controls the content shown to users. With millions of people using the platform daily, a glitch in the algorithm can have a big impact. If Meta does not fix this soon, users might start losing trust in Instagram’s ability to provide a safe and enjoyable experience.

For now, users can limit unwanted content by adjusting their preferences, blocking certain accounts, and reporting disturbing reels when they appear.
