#facebook features

Back in 2018, Facebook added a context button that provides users with information on an article's sources. Today, Facebook is adding a new notification that lets people know when news articles they're about to share are both timely and credible. Facebook has recognized the importance of the context of the timeliness of an article as this helps people decide what to read, trust, and share. To combat this, Facebook's new feature is meant to ensure the users have the context on the articles they share on Facebook. Facebook is also rolling out the same notification-style feature for COVID-19 related articles, providing information on the source, and links people to the COVID-19 Information Center. Facebook is usually seen as a platform to connect with people, get information, buy and sell products, and upload and consume content. But this social media giant also has other features that you might find helpful, and you probably haven't tried them yet. Note: The article will be mentioning features found on the Facebook mobile app, but some are available on the desktop as well.
