Threads users have complained about its recommendation algorithm since the dawn of time 2023. Users even started writing posts addressed to the algorithm, specifying the topics they wanted to see more of. Now, that's part of the system: Users can write a post that begins with "dear algo" to adjust their preferences, officially.
For example, you could write: "Dear algo, show me more posts about sous vide recipes." You can also ask to see fewer posts about topics you don't want to see, like "Dear algo, stop showing me posts about air fryers."

Google claims that, upon submitting your request, you will "immediately" see links to emotional and legal support organizations. Plus, you can opt-in to safeguards that filter out similar results in Search — though it seems these unreported images will still be available for other users to see. This feature should be available in most countries over the coming days.
You can go on Google's "Results about you" hub to track your request. To use the tool, you will have to add in your personal con
