This is what meta support said "your videos are targeting a generic audience, Meta's algorithm likely pushes them to viewers in India. This happens because India has a massive active user base that generates rapid, high-volume engagement. Meta prioritizes this quick watch time over your actual physical location in the USA. Once international users start interacting with your videos, it creates an engagement loop. The algorithm misidentifies this as your target audience and keeps distributing your content there to boost overall platform watch time. These are not full proof measures but for Instagram go to settings and privacy then go to account type tools then click other then click minimum age and then select the country you are getting a lot of views from and raise their minimum age requirement. for Facebook You can break this cycle by forcing Meta to show your content only to US users. Step-by-Step Guide to Restrict Your Audience Go to your Facebook Page. Open your Settings. Click on Followers and Public Content. Find the Country Restrictions section. Select Show ONLY to selected countries. Type and select United States, then save your changes. Important Note Your views and engagement will drop significantly after making this change. By cutting off your largest current viewer base, Meta must restart its optimization process from scratch. It will take time for the algorithm to find and build a new, relevant audience within the United States.
