Using filters in Instagram Feed

If you want to customize the content displayed in your Instagram Feed widget, such as excluding certain posts, showing only specific ones, or limiting the number of posts, you can use filters to achieve this.

In this article

To set a particular filter, please go to Filters at the bottom of the Source Type tab. As you can see, the app has two filter options available Show Posts Containing and Hide Posts Containing:

Show Posts Containing

This filter allows you to narrow down the selection of images in your feed. For example, you can add a username as the source of your widget and then add a particular hashtag to the Show Posts Containing filter. In this case, the feed will display only those images that originate from the specified account and share the designated hashtag.

If you set a hashtag as a source of your feed and try to filter it by username, the widget won't be able to collect posts. At the moment, the hashtag sources do not give out usernames due to limitations on the side of Instagram.

Hide Posts Containing

This filter effectively prevents images associated with a particular keyword or URL from appearing in your feed. It proves particularly useful in scenarios where your source hashtag is too generic and you want to make sure that only the most interesting posts appear in your feed:

Total Number of posts to display

The Filters tab is also where you can control the number of images you wish to showcase. By setting a limit, such as 7, the widget will display the 7 most recent posts from the specified source:

Now that you are familiar with how to use the Filters option, we hope it will assist you in customizing the widget to your personal preferences.
