New Feature Announcement
is testing a new feature allowing users to manually reset the recommendation algorithm across Explore, Reels, and Feed, aiming to offer a fresh start with content suggestions.
This update, which is in the testing phase but will soon roll out globally, is designed to ensure teens have a safer, more positive experience on the platform by allowing them to shape their Instagram experience.
Safety and Personalization Efforts
The reset feature complements Instagram's efforts to limit sensitive content for teens and follows the introduction of separate private accounts with increased controls and restrictions for young users.
Meta emphasizes that this tool will not affect ad serving or delete user data, but aims to empower users, especially teens, to have more control over the content they see, addressing concerns about the negative impact of algorithms on younger users.
