Facebook Launches AI Tools for Users to Customize Feed and Reels ContentPreviousNext

Facebook has introduced AI-powered tools called "Your Algorithm" that allow users to customize content recommendations in their Feed and Reels. Users can specify topics they want to see more or less of using everyday language, providing direct feedback beyond their engagement history. These features aim to make recommendations more responsive and adjustable in real time, enhancing user control without replacing the existing recommendation system. Similar approaches are being explored across Meta's platforms to improve personalization.
