Facebook introduces new features to its app all the time. It is difficult to keep up with so many changes. There are so many things on the app and it is all in front of you. Facebook, in its move to bring perfection and improve things frequently changes too many features. Facebook is a system within itself. It has its own apps inside of it.
Here are the really great features of the Facebook app.
Customize your news feed
The news feed that never ends can get overwhelming sometimes and there are times when you only see updates from acquaintances rather than the people you really care about. To get this sorted, Facebook has the prioritize option for your news feed, where you can prioritize the friends that mean the most the most to you, unfollow acquaintances, follow brands you really love and connect with people whom you have just unfollowed by mistake.
Facebook live
You don’t need any API to share yourself directly to the world. You can just log in to Facebook on your smartphone or laptop and get live. Further, Admins can also tag others as Live Contributors during the streaming process on pages. You can also add comments to live broadcasts which were not possible earlier.
Set up your own digital scrapbook
This is where Facebook goes really protective for children. You might have seen so many parents sharing pictures of their children on their birthdays, school function days and more. However, parents also feel the need to protect their children’s persona. They feel proud to share these pictures but also want to share them only with the right people.
With Facebook, one can just hop into the Family and Relationships sections to create a scrapbook which can be controlled only by two people and can be shared only with selective people. This is great to store wonderful memories for the future.
Look back on this day
Even 5-year-old kids have Facebook accounts these days and they are probably going to use it throughout their lives. Facebook is already a digital diary to all your memories.
This feature is old enough but the best indeed. It’s called On This Day which takes you back to this exact day but years back. You can check this out at the On This Day page.. You can switch the notifications on and get notified whenever you have a great memory to look at.
Profile Searcher
One billion people are using Facebook and that just makes it so much more than your local social media network. You might have never thought about it but Facebook is a search engine for people.
Everytime you search for your classmate or colleague, you can literally know one or two things about any random person and find their profile using profile searcher.
Facebook is optimized such that it can find people based on locations and places where they work.
Facebook is not stopping at this. You will find an update every month and there will always be something new. There is a lot more to explore on Facebook. It is a lot more than connecting now.
