NEW FACEBOOK UPDATE GIVES USERS MORE CONTROL
One of the newest features of Facebook’s latest round of updates allows users to control what updates go to the top of their news feed.
A major complaint from Facebook users is that they don’t have much, or enough, control over what shows up in their news feeds, application screen or main page. The computer algorithm of Facebook looks at thousands of signals, and gives you what it thinks you want to see based on the individuals you interact with or disregard, and the kinds of posts you’ve enjoyed in the past.
NEW ALGORITHM GIVES YOU ALL THE POWER
Facebook announced another set of features that will give everybody more control over what he or she sees on their newsfeed. Essentially, the Facebook update is giving you the ability to reprogram the algorithm calculations. The most critical feature gives you the ability to control what pages and friends updates go to the top of your feed.
In a report by the Facebook newsfeed management team, this is to help you quickly see the things that matter to you the most. To help you choose who to put on the “see first” list, Facebook now offers a screen that reveals to you the top individuals, pages, and groups that you have gone to in the course of the most recent week. This information is then organized into how much you like and comment on them in the newsfeed.
Before the new Facebook update, the company had offered the alternative to unfollow your friends or pages, which hides these posts from your feed. Now, it will give you a chance to draw up a single list of everybody that you have unfollowed and allow you to begin following them once more. This will make it easier to ignore a friend who is posting a photo or posts that you don’t care for, and afterward reverse the unfollow later.
facebook update COMING TO ANDROID AND WEB SOON
At first, just users on the iPad or iPhone application versions of Facebook had the capacity get these features, however the company has now realized that everybody is eager for the same customized experience. These features are coming out soon for the web and Android users.
