- Facebook’s Your algorithm tools let people explain interests to Feed and Reels in natural language.
- Users can choose Interested or Not interested and answer follow-up questions about recommendations.
- Meta says natural-language feedback combines with existing activity signals to adjust recommendations in real time.
Facebook Your algorithm is a new set of AI-powered tools that Meta is rolling out for Feed and Reels. It gives people a way to tell Facebook what they want to see more often by describing their interests in their own words, rather than relying only on likes, comments and viewing activity.
The tools also expand how people can give feedback on individual posts. Users can mark content as Interested or Not interested, and Facebook may ask follow-up questions to understand what they liked or disliked. Meta says this input can change recommendations in real time and help the system adapt during the same session. Availability is being rolled out, so the feature should not be assumed to be available to every account.
What Is Facebook Your Algorithm?
Your algorithm is a dedicated space for managing the topics people want to see more of in Facebook Feed and Reels. It can be opened from the three-dot menu on a post. People can describe interests naturally and add or manage the topics that should influence recommendations.

The feature works alongside Facebook’s existing activity signals rather than replacing them. Meta says recommendations already use thousands of signals, including likes, comments and videos watched. The new tools add a more direct way for people to express what they want the platform to show.
How Interested and Not Interested Feedback Works
Facebook is also expanding the feedback options available on posts in Feed and Reels. When people choose Interested or Not interested, Meta may ask extra questions about the decision. Users can explain what they liked or disliked, along with what they want more or less of.
Meta says this feedback updates recommendations in real time, allowing the system to respond within the same session. It is intended to give people more direct control over the mix of content they see, while still using their broader activity to rank posts and videos.
How to Customise Facebook Feed and Reels
If the updated controls are available on your Facebook account, you can use the following steps supported by the new feature:
- ⚙️ Open the post menu: Tap the three-dot menu on a post in Feed or Reels.
- ✍️ Add your interests: Open Your algorithm and describe the topics you want to see more of in your own words. You can add or manage topics there.
- 👍 Give post feedback: Choose Interested or Not interested when those options appear. Answer any follow-up questions Facebook presents about what you liked or disliked.
The controls are part of Meta’s wider work on Facebook’s content recommendations. MobileTelco has also covered the Facebook Reels-first experience being tested, another change to how content is presented in the app.
How Meta Uses AI to Understand Your Feedback
Facebook’s ranking system considers thousands of signals, including how people interact with posts and which videos they watch. Meta says large language models help interpret the natural-language feedback, including the interest, context and intent behind what a person says they want to see.
The system then combines that interpretation with existing engagement data to shape recommendations. This gives people another way to express their preferences directly, alongside the signals Facebook already learns from their activity.
Facebook Your Algorithm Availability
Meta is rolling out Your algorithm and the expanded feedback options for Facebook Feed and Reels. The updated three-dot menu on posts provides access to the controls, but the rollout details do not establish that every user has them yet. No specific country list, release date or app version is confirmed in the information available for this report.
Conclusion
Facebook Your algorithm gives people a more direct way to guide Feed and Reels recommendations using topics and natural-language feedback. It works alongside existing activity signals, and the new controls are being rolled out rather than confirmed for every account. If available, use the post menu to manage interests and give clear feedback on recommendations.
