- Meta launched "Your Algorithm" on Facebook, letting users directly add and manage topics they want to see in their feed and Facebook Reels.
- Facebook users can tap "interested" or "not interested" from the three-dot menu on individual posts, and Meta "may ask follow up questions for more detail" on what they liked or disliked.
- Meta says recommendations "respond right away" and update in real time within the same session after users adjust their preferences.
- Meta is leaning harder on LLMs in its ranking systems, saying they "unlock an algorithm you can actually talk to" that interprets natural-language intent.
- Your Algorithm previously launched on Instagram earlier this year, and Meta also rolled out a similar "Dear Algo" feature on Threads.
Why it matters: By extending LLM-driven ranking to Facebook, Meta lets users describe preferences in their own words instead of relying solely on clicks and watch time, with updates promised in real time within the same session. That gives people a direct lever against opaque algorithmic curation while giving Meta richer intent data to refine its recommendation models.
