Facebook Now Lets You Tell Its AI What You Want to See

Facebook just gave you a remote control for your feed. The company is rolling out a new feature called 'Your Algorithm' that lets you directly manage what you see in your Facebook and Reels feed. Instead of guessing why you're seeing certain posts, you can now tap 'interested' or 'not interested' on any post, or go into settings to add topics you love. Meta says your recommendations will update immediately—no waiting around.

What makes this different is the AI behind it. Facebook is now using large language models (LLMs)—AI that understands everyday language—to rank content. So you can literally type or say what you want: 'Show me more DIY projects and less celebrity gossip.' The system will adapt on the spot, even within the same session. It's like having a conversation with your feed instead of just hoping the algorithm gets it right.

This feature first appeared on Instagram earlier this year, and a similar tool called 'Dear Algo' launched on Threads. Now Facebook is bringing it to its massive user base. You'll find the option in the three-dot menu on posts or in your feed settings. Meta says it may even ask follow-up questions to better understand your preferences. The goal is to make your time on Facebook feel more relevant and less frustrating.

For everyday users, this means less scrolling past content you don't care about and more of what you actually enjoy. It puts you in charge, at least partly, of the algorithm that decides what you see. While it won't eliminate all unwanted posts, it's a step toward a more personalized and transparent experience. So next time you see something you hate, just tell Facebook—and watch it disappear.
