Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced today that the company is introducing new features that make it easier for users to discover and personalize Facebook Reels recommendations. The company is rolling out new personalization controls for Reels that allow users to tailor what they want to see more or less of.
Now, when you watch a Reel, you can tap the three-dot menu at the bottom of the video player and select 'Show more' or 'Show less.' Users will start seeing this option at the bottom of Reels, as well as videos in the Watch feed. If you select the 'Show more' option on a Reel, Facebook will temporarily increase its ranking score for Reels like this. Selecting the 'Show less' option will temporarily decrease its ranking score. Facebook previously implemented the Show more and Show less buttons on regular posts on the social network.
