Facebook will let users refine recommendations by answering follow-up questions
Buttons for expressing interest or lack of interest may also appear below posts on Facebook. Meta may then ask follow-up questions that users answer in their own words. This is part of changes to recommendations in Feed and Reels.
Facebook is expanding the options for providing feedback on recommended content. The “interested” and “not interested” buttons may also appear directly below posts. According to Meta, using them may lead to follow-up questions that let users explain in their own words what content they want to see more or less often.
Meta is gradually rolling out Your Algorithm for adding and managing preferred topics in Feed and Reels. Both the feature and the options for expressing interest or lack of interest are accessible through the three-dot menu on posts. According to Meta, recommendation systems use LLMs to interpret the interests, context and intent behind preferences expressed in words, and recommendations adjust within the same session.
Why it matters
Feedback in words lets users explain which part of a post interested or bothered them. This provides more detailed guidance for recommendations than simply indicating interest or lack of interest; for now, the description of how quickly recommendations adjust comes from Meta.
