Facebook updates its algorithm, allowing users more control over which videos appear in their feed.”



What’s new in Facebook’s algorithm update

Meta has rolled out changes aimed at giving users more control over which videos—especially Reels—they see. Key features:


Feature

What it does

Why it matters

“Not Interested” feedback

You can mark a Reel as “Not Interested” or flag comments you dislike. The algorithm uses that signal to show fewer similar videos.

Helps reduce unwanted or low-quality video content in your feed

Prioritize newer content

Facebook will show 50% more Reels that were uploaded on the same day you are browsing.

Keeps your feed fresh with more recent videos

Improved “Save” feature

The “Save” functionality has been enhanced to make it easier to collect and organize favorite Reels or posts.

Gives you more direct control over what content you want to revisit

AI-powered search suggestions

Under certain Reels, you’ll get suggestion bubbles prompting related topics or queries (think like TikTok’s gray suggestion prompts).

Helps you explore content you’re interested in more easily

Friend bubbles

Small bubbles showing which friends liked a given video. Tapping the bubble opens a chat with that friend.

Adds a social/discovery layer—see what friends enjoy and converse about it
