GoKawiilFacebook adds 'Your Algorithm' tool to let users steer feed recommendations
Meta is rolling out a 'Your Algorithm' feature on Facebook that lets users mark topics as 'interested' or 'not interested' directly from posts or a dedicated menu, with the feed and Reels updating in real time. The feature, which already launched on Instagram and as 'Dear Algo' on Threads, also lets users type natural-language feedback about what they want to see more or less of. Meta says it is using large language models in its ranking systems to interpret this feedback and adjust recommendations within the same session.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
Giving users more direct, conversational control over recommendations could ease long-standing criticism that opaque algorithms shape feeds without user input. It also signals Meta's broader push to embed LLMs across its products, potentially making personalization faster but raising questions about how much real control users gain versus how the system interprets open-ended feedback.
- Facebook's 'Your Algorithm' lets users tag topics as interested/not interested for instant feed changes.
- The feature mirrors tools already on Instagram and Threads ('Dear Algo').
- Meta says LLMs now help interpret natural-language feedback to adjust rankings in real time.
