AI-Translated Reels Suddenly Fill Some Feeds

Some users say their Instagram Reels feeds suddenly filled with international videos translated with AI, replacing the English-language content they typically watch. The change was noticed on August 29 by a user in the United States and described as sudden and unexplained.

What users observed

One user said their entire Reels page was showing AI-translated videos and wondered whether the feature could be turned off. Another described the feed as being flooded entirely with international Reels and asked how to return to their usual non-AI, English-language content.

What remains unclear

The examples show a noticeable change in the affected feeds, but they do not establish whether Instagram has introduced a broader feature rollout, changed recommendations, experienced a bug, or produced an isolated feed issue. They also do not show why these particular videos appeared or whether language, account activity, location, or another factor played a role.

No reliable fix is established

The available information does not identify a confirmed setting or dependable troubleshooting step that will prevent the recommendations or restore a previous feed. Users are specifically looking for a way to disable the translated content, but the supplied examples do not confirm that such control is available.
