Facebook. The American company officially announced today that it is launching a new version of the application for iOS and Android, implementing a series of very important changes for the way the platform looks and works. We are talking about a much modified design for the Facebook application, the emphasis being placed by the company on events and groups within the platform, not on the News Feed, so we will have to get used to a new way of using it.
Facebook. Tens of millions of groups exist on the platform at the moment, and the American company says that people are starting to use them more often than the News Feed, otherwise they would not have put them in the center, just like events, compared to the old format . You can see in the images in this article that the menu for accessing the groups has a central positioning, right in front of the users, and this should increase the level of use of the groups.
Facebook. NEW Version of the iOS and Android Application LAUNCHED
Facebook. Facebook is also launching a new function called "meet new friends", designed to help people get in touch with strangers who have common interests, work at the same company as them, or went to the same school together. Facebook will also promote the groups much more intensively in various other sections of the iOS and Android applications, so it will be almost impossible for some to avoid seeing what the company wants to shove down their throats.
Facebook. For events, the applications will have new, more useful information to facilitate the discovery of interesting events around us, or events located near those that we have indicated our intention to attend. Although the News Feed does not disappear from the Facebook applications for iOS and Android, the changes are intended to reduce it to a very large and important extent, which is not such a bad thing, considering the recent controversies.
Facebook. The company from Menlo Park announced that the new version of the applications for iOS and Android will be launched today, and will reach everyone in the next hours/days, but you have to be patient.
