The newly introduced card systems not only shed light on the ranking process but also provide users with the ability to customize their experience on Facebook and Instagram. Instructions are included on how to unfollow individuals or groups and how to indicate preferences through options like “show more” or “show less” for specific topics.
In an announcement regarding the card systems, Nick Clegg, Meta’s President of Global Affairs, highlighted additional tools available for users to personalize their platform experience. Facebook’s Feed Preferences and Instagram’s Suggested Content Control Center offer centralized menus with customization controls. Furthermore, Meta is currently testing a feature on Instagram that allows users to indicate their interest in recommended reels, enabling the app to display similar content. Presently, users can only express disinterest in specific reels. Clegg also mentioned Meta’s ongoing efforts to enhance the visibility of the “show more” and “show less” feature.
