Facebook is rolling out a new system to further refine the News Feed

Currently, the Facebook app only lets you hide posts from people you follow and posts that are recommended to you. Now, the new system will allow you to “see more” or “see less” this content for relative or suggested posts. Doing so not only changes the content of your feed, but also improves the artificial intelligence algorithms applied to the feed.

The setting is displayed “in rotation” across posts in the feed, and the same setting can be accessed on each post by tapping the three small dots menu in the top-right corner of the screen. The American company is also testing this feature on its Reels short videos.

Additionally, Facebook is experimenting with a global menu to customize how many posts you see from your friends and family, groups, pages and other public figures. You can quickly select “Normal”, “See more” or “See less” content of this category. It appears with feed options like Favorites, Temporarily Hide, Unsubscribe and Resume Contact.

With these changes, Facebook seems to be addressing one of the most common user complaints: too many “junk” posts in feeds. Given the number of ads in feeds (and even more coming to Instagram and Reels), parent company Meta has a vested interest in making sure users are happy with this content.
