Why does Zinola suggest people I may know?

Where people suggestions appear, why each person is suggested, and how to keep yourself out of suggestions.

  • In the app
  • On zinola.in

Updated

Zinola suggests people you might want to follow: neighbors near you, people in your circles, and people your friends follow. Each suggestion says why it's there.

Where you'll see suggestions

  1. Look at the reason

    Each card says why it's suggested, such as “Followed by” someone you follow, a circle you share, or “Also into” a topic you care about.
  2. Follow or open their profile

    Tap Follow to follow them, or tap the person to see their profile first.
  3. Hide what you don't want

    In the app, tap Hide suggestions to close the row.

Why someone is suggested

Suggestions come from what you already have in common:

  • Your network: people followed by people you follow.
  • Your circles: people in the same circles as you.
  • Around you: people in your area and nearby.
  • Same interests: people who write about the same kinds of things.

People you already follow aren't suggested again.

Keeping yourself out of suggestions

Only people who leave Let neighbors find me on can be suggested. Turn it off if you'd rather not appear in suggestions or the people directory. Your public posts stay public either way. See “Let neighbors find me”.

For the full list of people, see Find people on Zinola.

Common questions

Why is Zinola suggesting this person to me?
The card says why: you might share a circle, live nearby, follow the same people or care about the same topics.
How do I stop appearing in People you may know?
Turn off Let neighbors find me in your settings. You won't be suggested to others or listed in the people directory.
How do I follow someone from the suggestions?
Tap Follow on their card. If their account is private, the button changes to Requested until they accept.
