¿Se pueden quitar los Reels de Facebook en el iPhone? Lo que dice la ayuda de Facebook y lo que sí funciona (2026)

Abres Facebook para ver qué publicó tu primo o contestar en el grupo del barrio, y a los dos minutos estás pasando reels de gente que no conoces.

Facebook introduced Reels in September 2025, and now all videos on the platform are Reels regardless of length, format or content. Facebook's help pages explain that Reels are recommended based on relevance considering your interests, activity, trends, location, time of day, but there's no way to deactivate them. To see less of a particular Reel, tap "More" and choose "Not interested" or "Hide reel" to remove that specific Reel.

The effect of "Hide reel" wears off over time. You can also adjust your feed by going into the "Options" on a feed post and selecting "Not interested" or "Stop following" for a particular account, page or group. To customize your feed, go to "Settings & Privacy" > "Settings" > "Content Preferences". However, you can't turn off autoplay in settings, as Reels still appear in both the feed and the dedicated "Videos" section. The "Videos" tab could not be confirmed as removable according to Facebook's help pages.

You're not scared of failing. You're scared of being watched while you try.

I coach people who are changing professions. Almost every one of them opens with the same sentence in different words: "I'm not good enough yet." The sentence is true and useless at the same time.

Fear stems from being watched while trying, not from failing itself.
Concerns revolve around audience and perceived social cost of failure.

My RAG tool refused to answer a question my notes clearly answered

I built a retrieval-augmented generation tool over my own notes — no LangChain, no LlamaIndex, every stage by hand. Then I asked it a question my notes definitely answer, and it said: I can't find the…

Retrieval-augmented tool cut off answer mid-word
Chunk size caused partial answers and context loss
Solution: scan backwards to find sensible cut point

Test Email Should Be a Capability, Not an Identity

Email verification tests often start with a simple idea: create a disposable email account, wait for a message, click the link, and delete the test data.
