Instagram is rolling out a new control feature called “Your Algorithm,” which lets users adjust the topics the app shows across their main feed. Instagram CEO Adam Mosseri says the feature lets people see the topics Instagram thinks they are interested in and then change those topics, with effects across major parts of the platform. Rather than relying only on passive signals like likes or follows, users will be able to add or remove topics to influence what appears in their feeds.
The Verge and Digital Trends both report that the change focuses on letting users directly manage the algorithm’s topic selection rather than only controlling content indirectly. Both sources characterize the feature as giving users broader control over what they see throughout Instagram, not just in a single section. The outlets also note that the feature is expected to surface recommendations based on the user’s selected interests and will be applied across the app’s major areas. The exact timing and full rollout details are not specified in the provided summaries.
