Facebook lets users steer its algorithm with plain-language requests
Meta launched Your algorithm, letting users describe in their own words what they want to see more or less of in Feed and Reels. Large language models parse the text and combine it with existing signals like likes and comments to update recommendations in real time. Meta did not give a rollout schedule by country.
- Your algorithm is accessible via the three-dot menu on posts in Feed and Reels
- Requests in natural language are processed by large language models
- Recommendations update in real time within the same session
- Meta did not detail data storage or whether the feature can be turned off
