Facebook has brought a new update for its TikTok-style vertical videos. Facebook Watch, which was first introduced in 2017, was also affected by this change. With the update made in the application, the name Video will be used instead of Watch, and it will also be possible to make horizontal videos vertical.
Facebook Watch is gone, Video is back
Meta is working to make Reels videos a more popular video format on both Facebook and Instagram. The update on Facebook brings changes to many issues related to videos.
Chief among the changes was the change of the “Watch” tab to “Video” now. This will make it easy for users to find all the videos on the platform, including Reels, long and live videos. It will also be possible to comment on a Reels on Instagram via Facebook.
Another change was the addition of editing tools for Reels to all videos. This will allow users to edit their videos in one place without having to switch between apps.
Editing tools are also getting more features. It will make it easy to find the right audio track, reduce noise and record audio over a video. These features will help creators improve the audio quality of their videos.
With the refresh of the video page, it will be easier to discover videos. The new Video tab will be a page where users can watch videos based on hashtags and topics. This will allow users to find videos they are interested in and discover new creators.
It is worth noting that all these changes are currently live on Facebook’s Android and iOS app.
