Instagram users could soon see more ways to adjust their content, according to a recent post from Instagram director Adam Mosseri.
Specifically, Mosseri was showing off new ways users can access Your Algorithm, a feature that allows them to specify which topics they want to see more and less of. Instagram launched its algorithm last year and has been introducing it to more areas of the application.
“We want Your Algorithm to evolve from an environment to something that feels central to your Instagram experience,” Mosseri said. He also noted, “Some of these things are being tested now, some will be available soon, and some might not work.”
Examples in their post include one where swiping down on your Instagram feed eventually brings up the Your Algorithm menu, and another where swiping up from a reel could show a similar personalization message. A third displays buttons below each reel to indicate whether or not you want to see more similar reels.
The most popular comments on Mosseri’s post all make the same request. as a user put it, “WE JUST WANT OUR ALGORITHM TO SHOW THE PEOPLE WE FOLLOW.”
