Overview
- Meta announced and began rolling out the feature on Tuesday, October 13, allowing users to give natural‑language instructions that the service says update recommendations immediately.
- Users can open the updated three‑dot menu on any post to access a dedicated Your Algorithm page or tap 'Interested' or 'Not interested' on a post to send feedback.
- When users send freeform prompts or post feedback, Meta says large language models interpret intent and topic and adjust ranking for Feed and Reels within the same session.
- The rollout is phased: tests by MediaNama found the controls were not yet available in India and earlier checks showed occasional mismatches in returned content and language.
- Reporters are pressing Meta for specifics on how prompts are stored, how long inputs are retained, whether they feed ad profiles or model training, and what privacy safeguards apply.
