Facebook testing new features on mobile platform: Report
31 Dec 2015
Users could see a major change to their Facebook News Feed. With a new feature on its mobile platform, users would be able to search through multiple feeds based on their interests.
The main news feed would not be affected, but users would have other options such as 'Sports' or 'Style' to choose from.
The social media giant is currently testing a new feature that allows users to search through multiple feeds on the basis of certain interests.
"People have told us they'd like new options to see and have conversations about more stories on Facebook around specific topics they're interested in," a Facebook spokesperson told The Verge.
"So we are testing feeds for people to view different stories from people and Pages based on topic areas."
This new update was first reported by Jason Stein, co-founder of WindForce Ventures, who tweeted about it on Tuesday.
According to The Verge, the secondary feeds, 'borrow heavily' from Facebooks Paper app, automatically organising posts from people and pages one followed into different sections or feeds.
The Verge further reported that the social network was also testing its new Marketplace feature, which would allow users to purchase products simply by clicking an ad.
