Facebook keeps updating its features every now and then, having said that there are some changes under the hood, explains the recent update to News Feed algorithm which brings focus to posts from your friends and families instead of posts from business pages.
Here’s a list of recent key changes that Facebook made to the platform that may have gone unnoticed.
Facebook Marketplace
Facebook began testing Marketplace, its exclusive platform for selling and purchasing items in India, last November. Marketplace allows users to sell, browse and purchase items within their own community. There are various categories under which products are placed, and you can also set the area radius for the items.
On the iOS and Android app, Marketplace icon is placed at the menu bar.
Groups
This new feature gathers all your groups under one umbrella. Here, you’ll find the groups you’re a member of and the recent activities. You will also see suggestions to join similar groups.
Revival of the poll
Facebook recently re-introduced its Polling feature for its users. Similar to Twitter’s polling feature, Facebook’s new feature is a rebranded version of its ‘Questions’ which was disabled a few years ago. You can conduct your own poll by choosing the option under the ‘Write Post’ option.
