Today, Facebook made some significant updates to its newsfeed. In the coming weeks, iOS users will be able to access it.
First, Facebook is integrating features that are already available on Twitter. It’s the ability to regulate your sharing. The app asks who can comment on each post you make in your feed: everyone, friends, or the profile and page you linked to.
Your newsfeed should help you stay connected with the people, information, and environments that matter most to you. Your daily news stream is based on the friends you’ve added, the pages you’ve liked, the groups you’ve joined, and the interactions you’ve had.
The company also makes it easy to control what you see. select up for 30 friends or Pages to add to your Favourites, and your posts will appear at the top of your newsfeed in rankings and as a separate filter. People who use their favorites frequently can access them through a new menu at the top of the newsfeed, the Feed Filter Bar, says Facebook.
The feed filter bar also has new options for timelines.
The feed filter bar also gives you easy access to your most recent posts, so you can easily switch between an algorithmically sorted newsfeed and a chronologically sorted feed with the most recent posts displayed first.
Facebook can also help you understand why you’re seeing suggested posts in your newsfeed.
