Meta introduced “Your Algorithm” on Facebook on Oct. 13, letting users describe interests in their own words to adjust Feed and Reels recommendations. The company says its ranking system will respond in real time and has updated the three-dot menu to make the controls easier to reach. This adds a direct preference-setting option to a system that already learns from signals such as likes, comments and watch activity. Meta’s announcement describes a personalization feature, not a switch that replaces algorithmic ranking or guarantees what users will see. For people trying to find Spanish-language or community-specific material, the test will be whether stated preferences meaningfully improve discovery while still leaving users clear about how recommendations are shaped.
