Key Factors of the 2026 Algorithm:
- Reels Retention: How long people watch your reels is now more important than likes.
- Shares over Saves: Content that gets shared in DMs is boosted significantly.
- Direct Engagement: Replying to comments within the first hour of posting gives you a 2x reach boost.
