GoKawiilMeta brings 'Your Algorithm' natural-language feed controls to Facebook
Meta has launched 'Your Algorithm' on Facebook, a feature first introduced on Instagram that lets users describe in their own words what content they want more or less of in Feed and Reels. The tool is integrated into the three-dot menu alongside existing 'Interested' and 'Not interested' options, and Meta says it may ask follow-up questions to refine recommendations, with changes applied in real time.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
The update suggests Meta is responding to growing user demand for transparency and control over opaque recommendation algorithms. By letting people explicitly steer their feeds, Meta appears to be positioning Facebook closer to personalized streaming-style experiences rather than purely automated curation, which could help with user retention as competition for attention intensifies.
- Facebook now lets users describe feed preferences in natural language via 'Your Algorithm'
- The feature, previously on Instagram, integrates with the existing three-dot menu and feedback options
- Meta frames this as part of a broader shift giving users more influence over AI-driven content discovery
