A significant change is being made in Instagram that will drastically alter this photo-sharing app.
Meta is testing a new feature that will help reset the Instagram feed’s algorithm.
The content that appears in Instagram is determined by its algorithm, which suggests photos, reels, and content in the explore section based on what the algorithm believes or understands about a user’s personality.
However, now users will be able to reset these algorithm suggestions.
According to the company, this feature is still being tested, but it will soon be introduced to all users.
Meta has mentioned that users will be able to reset the suggested content by going to the “content preferences” section.
The company explained that resetting the algorithm will allow users to “start fresh” on Instagram and re-tune the app’s suggestions.
However, Meta clarified that resetting the algorithm will not delete any data from the app or change how advertisements are shown.
The purpose of this feature, according to Meta, is to prevent users, particularly young people, from being exposed to inappropriate content.
