Facebook is giving users more control over their algorithm
What changed
Facebook is the latest social media platform to give users greater control over the algorithm that determines what appears in their feeds. Meta announced the launch of its new AI-powered feature, “Your Algorithm,” on Tuesday, a feature it first launched on Instagram. The new tool allows Facebook users to influence the content they see in Feed and Reels by describing their preferences in their own words using natural language.
Why it matters
