Instagram to make huge algorithm change

Instagram is going to make a major tweak that will significantly change the algorithm of the app.

According to reports, Meta is testing a new feature that will help reset the algorithm of Instagram feed. Users will be able to change their content preferences by resetting the algorithm that determines what shows up on their feed.

The photo-sharing app's algorithm suggests content in photos, reels, and the 'explore' section based on what it thinks or understands about the user's personality.

But now, users will be able to reset the algorithm's suggestions.

This feature is currently being tested but will be introduced to all users very soon. The company said that users will be able to reset the suggested content by going to the Content Preferences section in the app.

If you reset the algorithm, it will help give you a 'fresh start' on Instagram, and retune the app's suggestions.

However, resetting the algorithm does not mean that your data in the app will be deleted or that the way ads are displayed will change.
