The Facebook feed as you knew me is over. Net social just announced an overhaul of the iOS and Android apps that will radically change the way we deliver content to you. More specifically, Facebook will offer two different tabs, called “Home” and “Feeds” in the English version of the app. The Home tab will be a sort of search engine. While it’s not explicitly mentioned, it seems like the goal is to have a flow similar to that of TikTok, where the app offers user-relevant content that doesn’t necessarily come from pages and profiles. © Facebook In this Home tab, Facebook users will be able to create videos, a TikTok-style video format created for apps Facebook and Instagram. This is the tab that opens when the application starts. “Here you’ll discover new content through recommendations in addition to connecting with friends and family.” From home, you can also create a video, see what your contacts are sharing in feed and stories, and build a community around new and shared interests. Your Home tab is personalized unique thanks to our machine learning ranking system. This system takes into account thousands of signals to reduce clutter and rank content in the order we think you would find it most valuable,” the network explains. social. © Facebook On the other hand, if you prefer to view the posts of pages, profiles, and groups you follow, you’ll be taken to the Channels tab. Indeed, since the home page of the application will be more focused on the content of profiles or pages that you have not yet subscribed to, it is in the Feeds tab that you can easily find posts from people and communities that you are already connected to. In addition, Facebook will also offer filters, for example, to show only favorites, friends, groups, or even pages. © Facebook
