Facebook Snap-chat for stories
As Facebook has indicated to different media, users are sharing their content differently than they did up to five years ago, now being much more visual as they publish more photos and videos than ever before. This is what has led Facebook to create their own version of Snapchat Stories to their own application. At the moment, Facebook Stories is a new feature that has started today in testing in Ireland, being available in its main application on both Android and iOS.
The new feature is located above the walls, just as in Instagram, something that will enable users to make the most of it, creating their ephemeral stories with photos and videos as slides, Which can also be added different filters, these stories being only 24 hours in force.
The intention of Facebook is to bring the new function to more countries over the next few months and, by the way, try to achieve a success similar to that obtained by the Instagram Stories, used by more than 150 million users to Day on average since it was launched about five months ago, enabling in turn greater use of its mobile application, as it could not be otherwise.
Of course the application that will be affected will be Snapchat, the pioneering application in this format of publications, which will see how it will cost to grow in terms of number of users, seeing that both Instagram and now Facebook have been on their heels.
On the other hand, Facebook has announced three new features in its Trends section, which begin to be deployed today to be over the next few weeks available to all users in the United States.
These three novelties are: the incorporation of the holders of their corresponding media under the themes, that is, each topic will have in its lower part the corresponding media owner; Improvements in the identification of topics of trends, now showing the number of media that publish articles on Facebook on the same subject and the commitment generated by each of them; And eliminates the personalisation of the themes to each one, showing the same tendencies to the users of the same region.
About this Facebook wonders that it wants to make sure that the users do not miss the most important topics that are discussed in their platform and that may not appear within their respective walls.
