Operating under the umbrella of Meta, Facebook is still one of the most popular social media platforms in the world. For this reason, the giant company adds brand new features to the platform to improve the user experience. Most recently, a new feature that will combine Facebook and Instagram has been tested globally.
The platform has now decided to introduce some innovations to its users. In the statements made by Facebook today, it has announced that new features have now been added that will allow users to further personalize the feed page.
‘Show more’ and ‘Show less’ options will be added to the stream page
Starting today, users will see ‘Show More’ and ‘Show Less’ options on posts from people or communities they are affiliated with. Thus, we will have the option to see more or less the posts of our friends, pages or groups on the platform, and the flow will be shaped according to our wishes. This feature will also be tested on Reels videos.
In the company statements, he added, “This will make our artificial intelligence systems smarter and more responsive,” adding that the artificial intelligence of the platform will now be improved, in particular. The Facebook app allowed you to only see posts from people you followed or suggested. With the new options, it was possible to set how much you want to see these contents.
The ‘show more’ and ‘show less’ options will both change the content in the stream while also improving the artificial intelligence used for stream sorting. According to the explanations, the new feature will allow posts to change for 60 days. After that, it will go back to its old self. Meta says the reason for going for such an app is that it takes a few weeks for users to make such choices and to keep up with changing preferences.
The new feature, which Facebook has introduced after the complaints that users see posts they are not interested in, will be available to users at certain intervals for now. In the future, it will be possible to use these features in every post by clicking the three dots in the upper right.
