Meta debuts Friends tab, Mark Zuckerberg pushes throwback to OG Facebook
Summary
Meta on Thursday debuted the Facebook Friends tab, a new feature thats part of CEO Mark Zuckerbergs pitch to revive the original spirit of his social networking app, or "OG Facebook" as he called it. The friend-related content include stories, reels, posts, birthdays and friend requests. The new tab marks a departure from the core Facebook feed, which is still the primary way users find and interact with content on the service. Meta has been increasingly using artificial intelligence to recommend content from across the social network that is tailored to users interests. Zuckerberg echoed that sentiment in his Thursday post, which showed a short video of the new feature and how it compared to the experience of using the social network in 2008 from a laptop.
