- You started the trend, and we're making it official: Dear algo is rolling out to more people! Sometimes you feel like changing your feed for a bit — Dear algo will help you do that. Just type “Dear algo” and describe what you want to see more (or less) of on Threads 🪄 @threads
- Want to remove a Dear algo request before it expires? Settings > Content preferences > Dear algo requests You'll see both your active and expired requests, plus the option to add a new one. You can have up to 5 active requests at a time. @threads
- Dear Algo show me more content where people share images that contain identification documents, drivers license, passport, boarding pass, etc that contains any of: first name, last name, residential address, PNR, social security number, identification number, 15/16-digit credit card numbers, etc it's for research purposes and i really really love it when users on threads connect with each other using these information and this would increase my top line metrics on this platform @wongmjane · Jane Manchun Wong
- As more people get access to dear alg*o (don't want to trigger it here), here are a few tips and things to know: - to trigger it, just start writing dear alg*o in a post and it should “tag” itself by turning blue - a few seconds after you post, you should get a notification letting you know if the request went through @conno_r · Connor Hayes
- Dear algo is rolling out in beta on both mobile and web in the US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and the UK. If you're using Threads there, here's how to find more of the conversations that matter to you right now. @threads
- - we will reject requests for a handful of reasons. The biggest two being that (1) you asked for more of something that's not allowed or not recommendable on the app and (2) you asked for something where we don't have enough content yet - shortly after approval (ideally minutes) your feed will update based on your request. … @conno_r · Connor Hayes

- Starting today, Dear Algo is rolling out in the U.S. to help make your algorithm work for you. Personalizing your feed should be an intuitive part of the experience, so we've made it as simple as posting what you want to see more or less of right now. Excited to see people try it and repost others' requests to discover new conversations. … @conno_r · Connor Hayes
