Ourtechroom will explain what Instagram Suggested List is and how they appear under suggestion in Instagram. So, let's get specific:
What is Instagram Suggested List?
Instagram Suggested List are people based on your interactions with your Instagram and Facebook friends, by liking their profiles, commenting
on their profiles and posts, prior searches, post locations, friends near you, communications, liking similar posts, your followers, your followings, and so on.
Most social media apps, such as Instagram and Twitter, use a collaborative filtering recommendation algorithm that looks at various indicators before providing you a list of those people. Before proceeding, it is important to note that Instagram has not made the Suggested List algorithm public.
As a result, we are unable to define precise indicators of those suggestions. So these are the basic features that can be found in almost all social media applications.
Instagram Suggestions can be based on the following factors.
Note that list of your suggested friends keeps changing and does not remain the same forever.
1 Based on Your Follower: You may have followed someone but did not follow them back. In this case, people whom you do not follow back may appear in the Suggested List, especially in Top Suggestions.
2 Mutual connections: Suppose A and B follow each other. Also, B and C are followed each other. Then it is more chance that C will get suggestions to follow A.
3 Facebook Friends: As we all know, the owner of Facebook and Instagram is the same company. So, if you have mutual connections only on Facebook(not on Instagram), you may see the same person in your Instagram suggested list.
4 Profile Interaction: If you search for someone on Instagram and start reacting and commenting on their profile then there is more chance that after a few days that person may appear in the Suggested List to Follow.
5 Post Interaction: If you go and search for someone and do rection on most of their post, comments on the posts, and share it with others and publicly then those people may appear in your Instagram suggested list.
6 Searches: These suggestions can also be based on the searches made by you on the accounts.
7 Following Same Groups(Connection in the interests): If you and someone follow the same groups and both are active in the group then that person may appear on your suggested list under discovery peoples.
8 Explore feed: People you've viewed in the Explore feed.

Suggested List is simply an Instagram suggestion that they believe you would be interested in based on your Instagram activity such as people you follow, hashtags you search for, posts you follow and like, and so on.
