âHow does News Feed determine which
content is most interesting?
The News Feed algorithm uses several factors, including:
how many friends are commenting on a certain piece of
content, who posted the content, and what type of
content it is (e.g. photo, video, or status update).
If you feel you are missing stories you'd like to see or
seeing stories in your News Feed that you don't want to
see, use the different News Feed controls to adjust your
settings and give us feedback about your preferences.â
