Your Algorithm
A user algorithm customization feature introduced by Meta that allows users to actively add topics of interest and mark content as not of interest, enabling explicit control over the recommendation algorithm.
Timeline (last 90 days)
Facebook announced on Tuesday the launch of a new feature called 'Your Algorithm,' allowing users to exert greater influence over the recommendation algorithm that determines feed content.
The 'Your Algorithm' feature had previously launched on Instagram and is now officially expanding to the Facebook platform.
'Your Algorithm' allows users to influence feed content, but what users can adjust is 'influence' rather than 'determination'; the algorithm still operates in the background.
Meta has not yet disclosed the specific interaction details and adjustment granularity of 'Your Algorithm.'
Meta launched a feature called "Your Algorithm" on Facebook, allowing users to directly add and manage the topics they want to see, covering the main feed and Facebook Reels.
The actual value of user control features depends on the degree of control Meta is willing to give up; if it only adds interest tag options while the underlying ranking logic remains unchanged, the change perceived by users may be limited.
According to Meta's official statement, after users make adjustments through "Your Algorithm", recommended content will "respond immediately", without needing to wait for the algorithm to relearn.
The "Your Algorithm" feature had previously launched on Instagram, and the Facebook version is an extension on that basis.
"Your Algorithm" addresses the question of "what I want to see", but a large amount of content in the feed on which users have not clearly expressed a preference is still determined by the algorithm's default logic.
