It’s like these Facebook people have been reading my mind. Every time I open my mobile app, I just see news that I don’t care about in the name of ‘News Feed’. I know a lot of people experience this, you feel me right? But now, Facebook might make it possible for you to sort your feed according to your interests. I know it’s exciting but calm down, they are testing it first.
Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg has said that he wants the social network’s news feed to be “the best personalized newspaper.” They have been experimenting with category-specific versions of its news feed that take posts that would normally appear in the all-in-one feed and organize them into their own interest-specific feeds. According to Social Times, the test began in October, and now they are extending it to mobile. In this test, the mobile app users are seeing their news feed separated by categories, such as science, travel, music, TV and movies, food, etc. Users can also add new topics as well as customize the existing ones.
The really good thing about this feature is that you will be able to see content of a specific topic and even control what you want to see according to your interests. So no more ‘news we don’t really care about’.
