Instagram will let you rebuild your recommendations from scratch


It’ll soon be easier to go nuclear on algorithmic content.

The recommendations reset feature will “soon roll out globally,” according to Meta’s announcement, and can be used to clear the algorithmic content that currently appears in Feeds, Explore, and Reels. Recommendations can be cleared in “just a few taps,” according to Meta, and will “start to personalize again over time” based on the accounts and content the user goes on to interact with. Users will also be able to review which accounts they currently follow at the point of reset to decide if they want to unfollow them, helping to reshape the new recommendations that will develop.
