Facebook recently revealed a number of new updates for its 1 billion plus users worldwide. Yes, it is true and if you are a regular visitor to the popular social networking website, then you too would have noticed it as well. Basically, all the latest updates are based on improvements that have been made on the existing Facebook features. Hence, the updates make Facebook features enhanced and user-friendly. So, what exactly are these updates and how will they be a turning point for Facebook App Development? Let us take a look at the following points to get an idea. • The size of shared images and video contents is now larger, addressing usability issues across various mobile devices and desktops. Photos are an integral part of the whole Facebooking experience and hence, the company has endeavored to make changes such as highlighting your photographs in news feed, timeline and photo albums in a never-before-seen way. • Photographs and pictures uploaded via third-party apps such as Pinterest and Instagram are also highlighted in a better way. For instance, if you like any pin on Pinterest, it will reflect in your timeline and will be highlighted to your friends. • Another major update with the photographs is that photos that show up with local check-ins will be highlighted in a different way that before. • Talking about check-ins, they also have an update. For instance when you check-in, the checked-in place will now contain a larger map to show your exact location to people in your friend list. • With the new update, you can go to any page on Facebook (from one page to another) easily without having to go to your homepage first. This was not possible before this update came out. • The company has introduced various sub feeds that will allow readers to focus on different types of content like music, picture, map, news articles, the pages you like or groups you have joined. • The newsfeed will retain the look and feel across various mobile devices, desktops and laptops. This means device consistency, something which this social networking giant needed to work upon and finally, has come up with a solution. • The links that you share will now consist of a longer blurb and hence, you will be able to get a better preview or idea about what content you are about to click on. • If more than one friend in your list shares the same post, then you will be able to see their faces to the left of that particular post. • All these new features give Facebook a design that reduces clutter and focuses more on people in close circle. The stories of your friends and family are highlighted or whatever content they are sharing, in a more vibrant and colorful way. To sum it all up These were some of the latest updates about Facebook. If you are looking forward to Facebook app development, then you must approach a Facebook Application Development Company, which ios well-versed with these updates and gives you the best results that you want.
