What is changing?
Meta announced “Your algorithm” for Facebook on October 13. Users can directly add and manage topics they want to see in Feed and Reels, with the control available from the three-dot menu on posts.
After selecting “Interested” or “Not interested,” the system may ask for more detail. When users describe in their own words what they want to see more or less of, recommendations update in real time within the same session.
Meta says it combines large language models that understand interests, context, and intent in natural language with existing ranking signals. The control does not turn ranking off; it adds user input as another personalization signal. Rollout may vary by account and region.
