As Facebook Becomes TikTok, a New Feeds Tab Ditches the Algorithm

Have you visited your Facebook News Feed lately? But Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced this morning that the Facebook app will also add a new tab called Feeds, which promises to show the most recent posts from friends, groups, and Pages that you follow. “One of the most requested features for Facebook is to make sure people don’t miss friends’ posts,” Zuckerberg said in a Facebook post this morning. “So today we’re launching a Feeds tab where you can see posts from your friends, groups, Pages, and more separately in chronological order.” The Feeds tab is part of a broader reclamation of algorithm-free zones on social media. Those who consider themselves starved for simpler times may find that their newly sequential Feeds tab doesn’t offer much sustenance.
