In case you didn’t know by now, notifications play a major role in sending out the best communication channels for users between various apps. With time, notifications increase, and now more than ever, it’s important for the right notifications to be sent out to enhance user experience.
Meta has shared some insights on how they’re making use of new technology and means to bring about notification personalization on leading apps like Instagram.
Daily digest alerts regarding various stories are notifications that put out a daily digest of content that can be viewed by anyone. After the alert is transferred to a device, a click on the alert can be done for it to be viewed easily.
Classic models comprise CTR or click-through rate and they’re commonly seen functioning across various apps in today’s leading tech world. In cases where the probability of clicks is too low, the alert is usually dropped and users won’t get them as it’s poor quality.
This means users with high engagement rates or those having more fans and followers with more clicks and stories would begin to be viewed in that way. And that is what gives rise to a new chance for users to get fewer notifications when they’re active and hence the alerts are sent out more organically.
But the main issue here is linked to how users are identified. See, with fewer notifications being released to those that are active, it’s not possible for users to become less active. So that means if the right people aren’t selected for this purpose, Meta loses out on user engagement.
This brings us to the topic of new techniques called causal interference and machine learning. They’re both designed to utilize the great efficiency of the matter through notifications that are sent out via proper user cohort selection. See, the solution adopted here to fix the problem was both causal interference and the likes of machine learning.
So the end product is getting better notifications and using both these tools carries high incremental impacts. This just puts an end to sending volume that compares it to the likes of CTR and zero declines in terms of user engagement. So what’s the benefit, you might ask? Well, it has to do with better user experience and also less usage of resources.
So Meta is really just applying it across various areas so that the entire experience of users in terms of getting notifications is appreciated.
