A Response to Shifting User Habits

Meta on Oct. 8, 2025, announced an algorithm update for its Facebook platform that will prioritize Reels videos tailored to user preferences. The update features an upgraded AI recommendations engine designed to better understand individual interests and deliver more relevant content. The move is a direct response to a 20% year-over-year increase in video viewing on the platform, as Meta competes with short-form video platforms like TikTok.
