News 18  

Instagram is reportedly testing a new feature that will show ‘Suggested Posts’ in between content like photos, videos, and IGTV from accounts you follow.

Secondly, Instagram already shows “Promoted” posts in-between regular content from followed accounts therefore, Suggested Posts could hamper the experience even further.
