Facebook launched this evening a series of new functions for users from all over the world who use its applications and platform through computers. Facebook has updated the Stories Camera function, through which content can be recorded for Facebook and Stories, and all with the idea of providing new reasons to create interesting stories based on what happens daily in our lives, the function being copied from Snapchat.
Facebook launched the Stories function, together with the new Camera, a few months ago for users around the world, but of course it did not have such a great reception. Facebook constantly implemented new functions for it, but the world continued to ignore it, so today it integrated new methods of recording content to include in the daily stories that we publish for our friends on the network.
Facebook offers the users of the Stories feature the opportunity to make live broadcasts starting today using their own mobile phones or computers. More than that, users of the Stories feature also have the possibility to record animated GIF images that have a maximum duration of 2 seconds, and finally comes the option to share posts that occupy the entire screen and have a colored background.
Facebook - new Camera Functions in the iPhone and Android application
Facebook has introduced the Stories function in the social network after having already implemented it in WhatsApp and in Instagram, but only in the latter it proved to be very popular. Neither in the Facebook social network nor in WhatsApp has the Stories function become popular among users, so Facebook is trying to make it popular at least in the social network with functions that Snapchat does not have.
Facebook offers the possibility to publish daily stories from the News Feed of the iPhone and Android applications, the whole function being extremely simple. The choice of content, or the registration of new content, is done immediately using the intuitive interface of Facebook applications, so users can publish stories in just a few minutes without any effort, as is normal.
Facebook also announced today the expansion of the marketplace platform in 17 European countries, competing with OLX for the sale of retail products. Updating the Stories feature is just as important, so today Facebook made two major announcements for the social network, but the first one is more important than the one for Stories, because it offers greater utility.
Facebook has over 2 billion users worldwide and all of them have the Stories function available.
