Instagram is working on a new feature called 'Suggestions For You' tab when you receive a post via DMs loading similar accounts and features for Stories.

When you open a post sent via DM, you would see a tab below the posts and it's comments called 'Suggestions For You', that Instagram predics you'd be interested in. Below the tab, you'd see a link that would take you to more suggested accounts.

An Instagram spokesperson confirmed the test to Mashable and stated, “We’re always working on ways to improve your experience on Instagram and bring you closer to the people and things you love".

Additionally Instagram is also testing a number of features in Stories including a new layout.
