Facebook has launched an algorithm control option that will let users tell the system what they want to see in the app using plain language.
The feature builds on Facebookβs existing Your Algorithm control option, and enables users to either add or remove specific topics from what the system thinks theyβre interested in. Users can also tell the algorithm what they like via the toolβs new chatbot prompt. As shown in the image below, Metaβs system will refine its algorithmic system based on this user-provided guidance.
Facebook said that the updated option will be available in both the main feed and in Reels, and the system will respond immediately to any changes. Very interesting!
