Facebook is adding ways to tell its recommendation system what you want to see using your own words. Meta's October 13, 2026 announcement introduces Your algorithm, a place to manage interests for Feed and Reels, alongside more detailed feedback on individual posts.
The intended benefit is a shorter path between a changing interest and the content Facebook recommends. Meta says the ranking system can respond within the same session, rather than relying only on what a person likes, comments on or watches.
Meta places the new customization options in the three-dot menu on posts. It says that menu has been updated to make the controls easier to reach, including the new Your algorithm area.
Once the rollout reaches an account, the announced path is:
This is the navigation described by Meta, not a claim that the option is already visible on every account. The announcement says the feature is rolling out, without providing a complete country, account or app-version eligibility list.
Watch Meta's Feed demonstration.
Watch Meta's Reels demonstration.

Facebook's existing Interested and Not interested actions are getting a more conversational follow-up. Meta says a user may be asked what they liked or disliked after choosing one of those options.
That creates an opportunity to describe the reason in ordinary language. For instance, a preference can be more specific than a broad topic label: someone interested in gardening may want practical balcony advice rather than commercial landscaping. This is an illustrative use of the announced free-text control, not an official prompt or a guarantee of a particular result.
The word "may" matters. Meta does not say that a written follow-up appears after every feedback action, or that users must complete one each time.
The announced flow is:
Watch Meta's written-feedback demonstration.
Watch Meta's second feedback example.

Facebook already infers interests from behavior, including likes, comments and watch activity. Meta says the new system adds the interests, context and intent expressed in freeform text to that existing information.

Large language models help interpret that text, allowing a preference to carry more nuance than a simple positive or negative signal. The announcement describes recommendation changes in real time, including adaptation during the same session.
That does not mean written feedback becomes the only ranking input. Meta explicitly describes combining it with what Facebook already understands about a person's interests. Your algorithm is a way to influence recommendations, not a published formula that lets users set every ranking weight.
The update is directed at recommendations in Feed and Reels. Meta does not describe a separate advertising-preferences feature here, nor does it promise that a feedback choice will remove every post associated with a topic.
The announcement also does not describe a complete reset of all recommendation history, a chronological-feed replacement or identical behavior for Instagram and Threads. Those are different features or product questions and should not be inferred from this Facebook rollout.
For users trying the controls, the most useful approach is to state a clear preference and observe the subsequent recommendations. If the option is missing, the source's rollout wording means its absence alone does not establish a problem with the account.
Your algorithm is an announced area for adding and managing topics that inform Feed and Reels recommendations. Meta says users can reach it through the three-dot menu on posts.
Yes: Meta describes written interests and follow-up feedback after Interested or Not interested actions. The follow-up is not promised for every post or every feedback action.
Meta says the ranking system can adapt in real time, including within the same session. The announcement does not provide a guaranteed response time or promise a specific content mix.
No: Meta describes combining written preferences with existing signals about what a person enjoys. Engagement and viewing behavior remain part of that broader picture.
The supplied announcement discusses Feed and Reels recommendations rather than a new advertising control. It does not establish that entering a topic changes ad targeting or ad preferences.
Meta says the feature is rolling out and does not publish a complete eligibility schedule in this announcement. Check the post menu and Facebook's official help resources as availability expands.
Your algorithm gives Facebook users a more direct way to express interests, while detailed post feedback adds context to Interested and Not interested choices. Meta says these preferences work alongside existing signals to adjust Feed and Reels recommendations during a session.
Use the three-dot menu to look for the new controls, and treat rollout availability and recommendation outcomes as account-dependent.
