For a while now, we’ve heard that we would be getting a Facebook ‘Dislike’ button/link on our news feed. Facebook, however, has somewhat made it clear that it would not be a ‘Dislike’, but something else. Well, today, we know what it is. We don’t get a ‘Dislike’, but a ‘Reaction’ and it looks promising.
Today, Facebook launched a new feature called “Nearby Friends”. Just by looking at the feature name, I’m sure that you don’t need an explanation on what the feature does. It’s a feature that’s in a way, really good for catching up with a friend (or friends) randomly while you are on and about. On the
Imagine watching a video where you have complete control on which angle you want to look at in the video. Sounds cool enough for you? If you are craving for a more immersive content on Facebook, the latest Facebook support for 360-degree videos might be for you. With just a finger slide (on a smartphone)
Periscope by Twitter is a live-streaming video app, allowing you to stream live events (or yourself) just by using your phone’s camera. Or if you are the shy type, you can use the app to just watch others’ live broadcasts from all around the world. Facebook’s answer? Live for Facebook Mentions.
In an announcement made today by Facebook, you will soon be able to have more controls over your Facebook news feed, such as having favorite friends selected so you’ll never miss their status updates ever again. Sure, we already have this in a way by adding favorites or your own lists of “Best friends” but
Ever wish you are able to send messages to a Facebook friend without the need of having a Facebook account? At the moment, you can install Facebook Messenger app on your smartphone, but you still need a Facebook account to have access to your Facebook friends and message them. Well, no more. Facebook today has
Even though I primarily use other chat services to chat with my loved ones, I occasionally still use Facebook message every now and then to send messages. It’s quite easy to do and sometimes I may not have everyone’s phone number. Facebook has been trying to push in using their Messenger standalone mobile app and
I’m sure you have encountered this before. A friend posted an interesting article on his/her Facebook status but you couldn’t read it at that moment (perhaps you were having a conversation with a friend or driving [hopefully not]). Some hours later, you then had to scroll through your Facebook feed to find that link again
No, it’s not a Facebook Dislike button, as much as some people wanted it. The new button that Facebook is currently testing is the “Buy” button. The button is only available to selected small and medium-sized businesses in the U.S, so I think it will take a while before we can see them anywhere on
Do you like to Snapchat with friends on your mobile device? Perhaps you are getting bored because you seem to be the only one sharing the snaps. Facebook has a solution with that, by introducing a “Snapchat clone” named Slingshot. Like Snapchat, Slingshot allows you to take a snap (photo or video) from your mobile
Not sure how many of you have used the “Login with Facebook” feature within a mobile app, allowing you to use your Facebook profile for the app’s account (rather than having to sign up/register). It is the quickest way to register yourself and use the app straight away. The worst part comes after, however, because
Have you ever walked by yourself to have a lunch and wished that a few close friends were around so you could ask them to have lunch together? You can, now (or soon, as the feature is being rolled out) on Facebook for iOS and Android. With the latest Facebook’s new feature, “Nearby Friends“, you
