Excited to introduce Your Algorithm, a new way to see and control what you see in the Reels tab. We’re using some of our latest AI technology to show you the topics we think you’re interested in - you can tell us what you want to see more or less of and even share a snapshot of your algorithm to Stories so your friends can see. This is launching today in the US with more availability coming soon.

Most of you should now see the updated buttons at the bottom of the app. The first tab is still Stories and Feed, Reels is second, DMs are third, and you can swipe between tabs. We’re organizing the app around what people use it for most, which has increasingly been reels and DMs.
I know these types of changes can take time to get used to, but we’d quickly become irrelevant if we didn’t evolve with the world. How people entertain themselves and connect with friends is constantly changing and we’re always working to keep up.

You can block people from your stories without blocking them from the rest of your posts. This is a great feature to make sure your stories go to the exact people you’d like to reach.

Collabs are a great way to have a post or reel show up to multiple sets of followers. Pro tip: you can also initiate a collab after you post, which is new.

If you’re trying to optimize for reach, the metrics you should pay the most attention to are average watch time (for reels), like rate (likes per people reached) and send rate (sends per people reached). Look for patterns in your insights so you can focus on what works and move away from what doesn’t while staying true to yourself.

If you haven’t already, you’ll soon see the option to try new Instagram tabs. The first is still Stories and Feed, Reels is the second tab, DMs are third, and you can now swipe between tabs. We’re organizing the app around what people use it for most, which has increasingly been reels and DMs.
I know these types of changes can take time to get used to, so we’re giving people the option to try this early before we roll it out. If you’re trying it out, let me know what you think.

Turning off like counts, disabling comments, or using Close Friends are a few good things to try if you’re ever feeling anxious about how your posts are doing on Instagram.
