Instagram is experimenting with additional ways to give users a level of control over recommendations in the app. The update aims to make it easier for people to tell IG’s system what content they like and don’t like in-stream.

Instagram Chief Adam Mosseri said that Instagram is looking into more ways to make users aware of this option, as well as providing more access points to its algorithm control features. The new features build on the app’s existing Your Algorithm control option, which is gradually being expanded to all users.

As per Mosseri: “We’re working on making Your Algorithm feel more present and useful across Instagram […] some of this is testing now, some is coming soon, some might not work.”

Mosseri shared four examples IG is considering, with the first being a simplified access process to the Your Algorithm panel from the home screen.

With this, users would be able to drag the screen down to access the Your Algorithm panel, where they’d then be able to add and remove topics that the system has tagged to them, based on their engagement activity.

Instagram is also considering inserting direct access to its topic control option between Reels in-stream.

There could also be lower function bar control options for recommended Reels, so users could access the Your Algorithm screen and easily signal whether they’re interested or not.

Finally, Instagram is also experimenting with conversational prompts to refine its recommendations, which would make it easier for users to improve their feed without specifying topics.
