Instagram to Introduce Algorithm Reset Feature for Personalized Feeds

Meta announces a new tool allowing users to clear content recommendations across Explore, Reels, and Feed for a 'fresh start'.

Meta is testing a new feature for Instagram that lets users reset their algorithm-generated content recommendations.
The feature, aimed at creating safer and more personalized experiences, will allow users to clear recommendations across Explore, Reels, and Feed tabs.
Once reset, recommendations will gradually adapt based on new user interactions, reflecting updated interests over time.
The tool is particularly designed with teen safety in mind, addressing concerns about harmful content and offering more control over feed curation.
While some users welcome the option, others express dissatisfaction, calling for a return to chronological feeds and fewer algorithmic suggestions.
