Instagram tests new ways for users to customise the ‘Your Algorithm’ setting
(Image: Instagram)Instagram is testing new ways to help users customise the content they see on the popular social media platform by upgrading the ‘Your Algorithm’ feature with additional prompts and new user controls aimed at making recommendation settings more accessible. The update was previewed by Instagram head Adam Mosseri in a recent post, where he said the company wants to evolve ‘Your Algorithm’ from a standalone setting into a feature that plays a more central role in the Instagram experience. Some of the changes are currently being tested, while others will be rolled out in the future, according to Mosseri. He also noted that not every experiment may eventually become a permanent feature.Among the options shared by Mosseri, one shows the “Your Algorithm” menu appearing after users pull down on their Instagram feed. Another allows users to swipe up from a Reel to access content customisation options. A third introduces buttons below individual Reels, enabling users to indicate whether they want to see more or fewer similar videos.
