The Facebook app homepage will undergo a major overhaul. This is at least the announcement that was made by the boss of Meta Mark Zuckerberg. The objective will be to offer more content selected by the social network’s algorithms. “One of the most requested features on Facebook is to make sure users don’t miss their friends’ posts”, he has in a message posted on the social network.
“We are launching a Feeds tab…”
“Today we’re launching a Feeds tab, where you can see your friends’ posts, groups, pages and more in chronological order”, he later continued the founder of the application. More clearly, the artificial intelligence will decide on behalf of the users of the social network what they should see. Mark Zuckerberg clarified the Feeds tab anyway “will give you a way to personalize and have more control over your experience”.
A version of TikTok ?
Some observers say Facebook’s new reforms are simply aimed at making the app as competitive as TikTok. The Chinese video application has been experiencing an increase in the number of its users for the past few weeks. Facebook, on the other hand, no longer packs so many into the youth category. TikTok’s mechanism alternates between what users see as video and other content offered by artificial intelligence.
