The term refers to the process of deleting or removing the record of Reels videos watched within the Facebook application. This action effectively erases the list of previously viewed short-form videos, preventing them from influencing future recommendations or appearing in specific activity logs.
Managing this information offers users greater control over their data privacy and algorithm-driven content. It allows for a reset of viewing patterns, potentially introducing fresh suggestions and preventing the recurrence of unwanted or irrelevant content. Previously, limited options were available to curate the Reels viewing experience, making this function a significant step toward personalized control.
