For the last month or so, Instagram has been frequently sending me the following push notifications:
USER, who you may know, is on Instagram. Would you like to follow them?
The account is never someone "I may know" in real life, so it does not seem to be based on a Facebook link or Contact / Phone Number. It seems to be based on Instagram interests / in-common followers / similar accounts.
I have always had almost every notification setting turned OFF in Settings > Notifications
. This must be a new notification type that Facebook/Instagram has added to their "growth hack" list and helpfully turned ON by default.
Which specific Notification Setting controls these "who you may know" notifications? How can I stop seeing these notifications?
