What to know

  • Meta expanded its "Your Algorithm" feature from Instagram to Facebook, letting users customize feed content by marking topics as "interested" or "not interested."
  • The system uses large language models to interpret natural language preferences and adjust recommendations in real time within the same session.
  • The feature also appeared on Threads as "Dear Algo," representing Meta's broader push toward giving users conversational control over algorithmic ranking.

“Your recommendations respond right away after you make updates using the new feature by hitting "interested" or "not interested" for different topics.”

    Real-time feed updates respond immediately to user preferences

    Meta says the feature updates recommendations in real time within the same session. Users can tell the algorithm what they want to see in their own words, and the system may ask follow-up questions for clarification on likes or dislikes.

    “Your recommendations will update in real time, adapting within the same session to reflect what matters to you right now.”
