Instagram now lets you see and control your algorithm
Today, Instagram has announced that it's allowing you to see and control your Reels algorithm for the first time. You just tap the icon showing two lines with hearts located in the upper right corner.
There, you can see what topics Instagram thinks you're interested in, and you can choose which of those you want to see more or less of, and your recommendations will adapt accordingly. You can even share your interests as devised by the Instagram algorithm to your Story, so your friends and followers can laugh at what you're into.
The ability to see and modify what the algorithm thinks you like will expand to the Explore tab in the future, "and more places in the app soon", the company's blog post on the matter states. The ability to see and tune your algorithm recommendations in Reels is rolling out today in the US, and will become available globally in English "soon".
