Threads Now Lets You Personalize Your Feed with Simple Text Prompts
Dear Algo lets Threads' 400 million users tailor their feeds with AI for three days, enhancing control over live events, breaking news, and spoilers, Meta says.
- Wednesday, Meta launched Dear Algo as a beta on Threads in the US, UK, Australia and New Zealand, allowing users to customize their feeds for three days.
- A few months ago, Threads users posted 'Dear algorithm' pleas, prompting Meta to formalize the feature, with Connor Hayes, Meta's head of Threads, said `We think we can do a better job by going deep with individuals on what they want to see more and less of`.
- To use Dear Algo, publish a public post starting with `Dear Algo` and the feed adjusts for three days, while users can view, delete, or repost requests in app settings.
- Meta presents Dear Algo as part of its AI-driven recommendation push, with Threads now exceeding 400 million monthly users and Meta recently starting to run ads on the app.
- Moderation limits are built in, and Meta says Threads will reject Dear Algo queries that violate recommendation guidelines and hopes to expand availability soon.
