To reduce the impact of Meta AI features on Instagram, follow these steps, though note that some AI integrations cannot be fully disabled:

1. Limit Ad Personalization:

   • Go to Settings > Ads > Ad Preferences.

   • Turn off Activity from Partners, Your Activity, and Categories to reduce data-driven ads.

2. Adjust Suggested Content:

   • Navigate to Settings > Suggested Content.

   • Use Sensitive Content Control to restrict topics or select “Less” in “Specific Words and Phrases” to filter Explore/Feed suggestions.

3. Control AI Chat Interactions:

   • If Meta AI appears in Messages, you can’t disable it entirely, but you can:

     • Mute the Chat: Swipe left on the chat and select Mute.

     • Avoid engaging with the AI to minimize its presence.

4. Modify Search & Explore:

   • Use “Not Interested” on posts in Explore/Reels to train the AI to show less of certain content.

5. Data and Privacy Settings:

   • In Settings > Security > Access Data, review how Instagram uses your data. Limit permissions under Apps and Websites to reduce AI training inputs.

Note: Complete deactivation of Meta AI isn’t possible, as features like recommendations, ads, and chatbots are core to Instagram’s functionality. These steps help minimize AI-driven content but won’t eliminate it entirely. Meta frequently updates features, so check settings periodically for new controls.
